Graduate Programs for Radio Astronomy

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on graduate programs in the United States that offer Ph.D. opportunities in radio astronomy. Key institutions identified include Caltech, Cornell, Harvard, and the University of Arizona, among others. Participants also noted the potential for involvement in radio astronomy at schools like Illinois and Rutgers, particularly for those interested in millimeter/submillimeter research. West Virginia University (WVU) was also mentioned as a notable institution for this field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of radio astronomy principles
  • Familiarity with graduate program structures
  • Knowledge of research opportunities in astrophysics
  • Awareness of millimeter/submillimeter astronomy
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific Ph.D. programs at Caltech and Cornell
  • Explore the radio astronomy research initiatives at the University of Arizona
  • Investigate millimeter/submillimeter research opportunities at Illinois and Rutgers
  • Look into the graduate offerings at West Virginia University (WVU)
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students, astrophysics researchers, and academic advisors seeking information on radio astronomy Ph.D. programs in the United States.

Hello all,

I'm trying to compile a list of schools (mainly in the US) that offer Ph.D. programs with research in radio astronomy.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

Caltech
Cornell
Harvard
New Mexico Tech
Ohio State University
UC Berkley
UC Los Angeles
UC Santa Cruz
University of Arizona
University of Chicago
University of Iowa
University of Maryland
University of New Mexico
University of Texas at Austin
University of Virginia
University of Washington
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Yale

Most of these schools seem to be heavily involved with radio astronomy, whereas in a few cases, I know you can get involved in radio astronomy if you know the right people, though it's not a large constituent. I've looked around google and the likes, so I'm interested to see what other people know of at this point.

Thanks!

If you are also interested in millimeter/submillimeter, you could add Illinois and Rutgers to that list.
 
Excellent, thanks!
 
You're forgetting WVU.
