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?)

How about

from the American Institute of Physics?

Heres one that I found: http://www.physicsgre.com/gradphys/index.shtml
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
