What are the processes in earning a doctorate in theoretical physics ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
start with college, then go to a graduate school.
 
It starts deep within the heart of a young child. A burning curiosity to calculate with reckless abandon, and sub par social skills are early signs of PhD possibilities. An uncontrollable disdain towards organizational tasks and logic founded emotions are necessary for success in this endeavour.

and yeah, as serp said, college then grad school.
 
You will probably have more luck in the "Academic Guidance" subforum
 
You will also have more luck if you are willing to ask a question with some thought and focus. Decide it's not worth more of your time than it takes to write a vague one-sentence question and readers may decide its not worth their time to write a good answer.
