Any where in the country can i take 300-level summer physics classes?

AI Thread Summary
Many universities, including Berkeley, release their summer schedules as early as late December. The definition of "300-level" courses varies by institution; for example, at Harvard, they refer to graduate-level courses, while at the University of Texas at Austin, they typically denote courses worth three credits. In the context of the discussion, a "300-level" course is identified as an upper-level physics class, such as solid state physics or advanced quantum mechanics, particularly in U.S. colleges.

Do some universities even have their summer schedule out by this time so early in the year?

What country? And define "300-level." The definitions vary between school. For instance, at Harvard, 300-level couses are "Graduate Courses of Reading and Research". And at the University of Texas at Austin, "300-level" courses are courses that are worth 3 credits.

Oh yes. Berkeley, for instance, has had their summer schedules out since late-December, I believe.

Country: united states!
300 level: upper level physics class in a typical college, such as solid state, advanced quantum mechanics, nuclear, etc.

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
