Schools How good is the cosmology program at OSU? (Ohio State University)

AI Thread Summary
OSU's physics PhD program is recognized for its strengths in cosmology, particularly through the Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP). Although OSU's physics program was ranked #23 in 2014 and not listed among the top astrophysics programs, it still offers valuable resources and faculty expertise in cosmology. The astronomy program at OSU is noted for its quality, which may enhance the overall experience for students interested in cosmology. Prospective students should consider the research opportunities available at CCAPP for a focused study in early universe topics. Overall, OSU provides a solid foundation for those pursuing a PhD in cosmology.
