Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The cosmology program at Ohio State University (OSU) is supported by the Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP), which focuses on cosmological research. While OSU's physics program was ranked #23 in 2014, it is not specifically listed among the top programs for astrophysics. However, the astronomy program at OSU is recognized as strong, indicating a solid foundation for students interested in cosmology and early universe studies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cosmology concepts and theories
  • Familiarity with astrophysics research methodologies
  • Knowledge of graduate-level physics principles
  • Awareness of the role of research centers like CCAPP
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest publications from the CCAPP at OSU
  • Explore graduate program requirements for OSU's physics PhD
  • Investigate other top-ranked cosmology programs for comparison
  • Learn about current cosmological research trends and techniques
USEFUL FOR

Prospective PhD students in physics, particularly those focusing on cosmology, as well as researchers and academics interested in the strengths and offerings of OSU's astrophysics and cosmology programs.

I might be accepted to the OSU physics PhD program and I have mainly an interest in cosmology / early universe stuff. How is OSU's program in cosmology? I hear their astronomy program is very good, but how is their cosmology especially?

OSU isn't listed, I think it was at #23 for physics.

There is the CCAPP there, so they have some people working on cosmology
