Schools Search Grad Programs in Physics with Non Physics Bachelors

AI Thread Summary
Several users recommend websites for searching graduate programs in physics, particularly for applicants with non-physics bachelor's degrees like Electronic Engineering. A notable suggestion is gradschoolshopper.com, which offers a focused approach to finding relevant programs. Additionally, the American Institute of Physics (AIP) website (aip.org) is highlighted as a valuable resource for career and educational information in physics. Users are also directed to a related discussion thread on Physics Forums for further insights. The emphasis is on finding programs that accept diverse academic backgrounds, especially in Applied Physics.

Hi, I'm wondering if any of you have any good websites that help in the search for graduate programs. Hopefully they'll have some reviews of programs in physics. I need to search for schools that will actually accept a non Physics bachelors (i.e. Electronic Engineering). I'm particularly interested in a program in Applied Physics.

I've tried www.petersons.com but it's not very physics minded.

Thanks !

If you don't know this already (since you weren't a physics major and may not have been a member of the SPS), you should always go to the AIP website for anything related to career/educational issues on physics and related fields.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
