I need some insight! I will be transferring with the goal of an eventual graduate degree in physics. Which of these schools is the best for physics? Uva will provide the best aid for me... Ps it's iu Bloomington.
Particle physics, though I was under the impression the concentration didn't matter for undergrad. Mostly concerned with getting immersed in a good program and have a solid foundation.Arsenic&Lace said:What field are you interested in?
The US News and World Report ranks Purdue at #25, UVa at #35, and IU at #53 for their physics graduate programs.
The average length of time to complete a physics graduate degree at Purdue is 5-6 years, UVa is 6 years, and IU is 5 years.
Purdue has a student-to-faculty ratio of 3:1, UVa has a ratio of 5:1, and IU has a ratio of 7:1 in their physics departments.
All three schools offer research opportunities for their physics graduate students, with Purdue and UVa having a larger variety of research areas available.
The acceptance rate for Purdue's physics graduate program is 24%, UVa's is 25%, and IU's is 31%. However, acceptance rates can vary depending on the specific program and year.
