Masters or PhD program in engineering physics

AI Thread 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
http://provost.illinois.edu/programsofstudy/2013/fall/programs/undergrad/engin/engin_physics.html

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.

Embry riddle offers a PhD and a masters.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
