Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the search for a directory of colleges and universities in the U.S. that offer Ph.D. programs specifically in Computational, Mathematical, or Theoretical Physics. Participants share resources and express the challenges of finding organized information on this topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the existence of a directory for Ph.D. programs in specific areas of physics.
  • Another participant mentions that there are directories available that allow searches for U.S. graduate programs in physics based on various criteria, but notes the lack of organization by major research areas.
  • A third participant suggests a specific resource from the American Institute of Physics for finding graduate programs.
  • A later reply reiterates the suggestion of the American Institute of Physics resource and adds another link for a different directory related to physics graduate programs.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that there are some resources available, but there is no consensus on a comprehensive directory that organizes schools by research areas.

Contextual Notes

Some limitations include the lack of organization by specific research areas in the available directories and the potential for users to collaborate on creating a more comprehensive resource.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in pursuing Ph.D. programs in Computational, Mathematical, or Theoretical Physics, as well as those looking for graduate program resources in physics more broadly.

Does anyone know if there is a directory of Colleges & or Universities that offer Ph.D. programs in Computational, Mathematical, or Theoretical Physics? I've looked all over the internet & can't seem to find any.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There are a couple directories out there that let you search for US graduate programs in physics using criteria from Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, National Research Council and Survey of Earned Doctorates surveys.

Unfortunately, there is not really anything that organizes schools by their major research areas... (perhaps users of this board might try to put something together?)
