Schools Directory of Colleges that offer Ph.D. programs in the U.S.

AI Thread Summary
There is a lack of comprehensive directories specifically listing colleges and universities that offer Ph.D. programs in Computational, Mathematical, or Theoretical Physics. While some resources exist, such as directories that allow searches for U.S. graduate programs based on data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and the National Research Council, they do not categorize schools by major research areas. Suggestions for useful resources include the American Institute of Physics' Grad School Shopper and a specific physics graduate program directory found at physicsgre.com. Users are encouraged to consider collaborating to create a more organized resource for prospective Ph.D. students.

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?)

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

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...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...
