I'm curious what schools should I look into for a degree in astrophysics or cosmology? Preferably in the US

According to your previous posts, you're in the US and enrolled in community college. So I assume you're asking about a bachelors degree. Cosmology is one class, maybe two at the undergrad level. It's not a major. Few schools offer a major in astrophysics simply because it's not useful (same for astronomy). Pretty much all the jobs in the field require a PhD in astronomy, astrophysics, or physics, and those graduate programs require a physics major.

There are several excellent universities in the US that offer degree programs in astrophysics and cosmology, each with their own unique strengths and research opportunities. Some top institutions to consider include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Princeton University, and Harvard University. These universities have renowned faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a strong emphasis on cutting-edge research in astrophysics and cosmology. Other notable programs can be found at Stanford University, University of California Berkeley, University of Chicago, and University of Arizona. It's important to research each program thoroughly to find the one that best aligns with your interests and goals. Additionally, consider reaching out to current students or alumni to gain insight into their experiences and the opportunities available within each program. Good luck in your pursuit of a degree in astrophysics or cosmology!
