Schools Indiana Schools for Astro Physics

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking quality education in astrophysics in Indiana, Purdue University, Indiana University (IU), and the University of Notre Dame are the primary institutions mentioned. The discussion highlights the importance of refresher courses for adult learners returning to school, especially for someone who has been away from academia for an extended period. It suggests considering local community colleges for these preparatory courses to build a solid foundation before pursuing a degree in astrophysics. Joining forums for guidance and support is also noted as beneficial for navigating this educational journey.

Add Notre Dame and you've pretty much got them all.
 
Ahh! thank you! I have only been in Indiana for 3 years, and forgot Notre Damn...ok, I have found that since I am 43 and just going back to shool that I will most likely need some refresher courses. after reading a bunch of articles, guides, and the like here in the Physics Forum I think that a local community college of some sort will be needed for my refresher courses at minimum. I wish I didn't have to do that, however it has been a while since I went to an actual school, and therefore practical and realistic. I am glad I joined the forum. Thanks again!
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

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...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

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...
