Do they have grad programs that blend pure math and physics.
where you learn math and physics at the same time.

yep ... though the exact program depends on the school.cragar said:Do they have grad programs that blend pure math and physics.
Yep - pretty much cannot be avoided. Though you should have done the bulk of your math learning before you graduate.where you learn math and physics at the same time.
A Master's program typically takes 1-2 years to complete and focuses on advanced coursework and potentially a thesis or project. A Ph.D. program is longer (usually 5-6 years) and involves in-depth research and the completion of a dissertation. Ph.D. programs also tend to have a stronger emphasis on teaching and preparing students for academic careers.
It's important to consider factors such as research opportunities, faculty expertise, program curriculum, location, and funding options when choosing a grad school and program. It's also helpful to talk to current students and alumni to get a better understanding of the program's strengths and weaknesses.
The specific requirements vary by program, but common application materials include transcripts, letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and standardized test scores (such as the GRE). Some programs may also require a writing sample, resume, or portfolio.
While having research experience can be beneficial, it is not always necessary for all programs. Some programs may prioritize research experience, while others may value other qualities such as strong academic performance and relevant work experience. It's important to research the specific requirements and expectations of the programs you are interested in.
Many graduate programs offer funding options such as teaching or research assistantships, fellowships, and scholarships. It's important to research and apply for these opportunities early, as they can be competitive. Some students also choose to take out loans or work part-time while in school. It's important to carefully consider the financial implications of graduate studies and make a plan for how to fund them.
