I'm currently a junior majoring with physics (obviously), and I was wondering if anyone knew of a few good universities which offer a graduate degree in Geophysics (or Geological Science).

As it stands right now, I am an applied math major, minoring in physics with a concentration in geophysics. Any and all help would be appreciated.

I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
