Masters or PhD program in engineering physics

Click For Summary
Several universities offer graduate programs in engineering physics beyond Cornell. The University of Wisconsin provides both MS and PhD programs in engineering physics. Electrophysics programs, which blend elements of electrical engineering and physics, are also available but are less common than traditional degrees in either field. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign offers undergraduate programs in engineering physics, while its graduate offerings may be more focused on physics or engineering disciplines. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has graduate programs in engineering physics, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University offers both master's and PhD degrees in this area. For specific details about graduate programs, contacting the respective departments is recommended.

Are there any other places that offer engineering physics other than Cornell for masters or PhD?
I couldn't find any except applied physics.

Looking at grad school shopper I found U Wisconsin has MS and PhD programs in engineering physics. http://www.engr.wisc.edu/ep/ep-academics-graduate-programs.html

If you are looking more along the lines of EE/Physics, I believe that electrophysics programs are designed to be somewhere between physics and EE, but I don't think this is as popular as an EE or physics graduate degree. A lot of the topics are in either physics or engineering graduate programs. On the other hand, some may be split. For instance, Illinois has both nuclear physics and nuclear engineering graduate programs. Assuming you're interested in nuclear, you would decide which you would apply to based on possible research topics.

A number of universities offer engineering physics at the undergraduate and graduate level.

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (undergrad)
http://physics.illinois.edu/undergrad/ep-options.asp

One would have to contact the department to check on the graduate program, but I believe they may have only a Physics or Engineering program.

I believe RPI has EP in their graduate school.
http://mane.rpi.edu/academics - "The department offers graduate programs in mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, nuclear engineering, and engineering physics." Contact th department for more information.

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
