What are the best physics departments to do graduate work in theoretical physics?

If you're considering this, you probably already have an idea of what area of physics interests you.  Look at the literature and see where this work is being done.  Think about someone in the field you'd like to work with.  At MIT, they won't let go of you until you really understand what's going on, and know how to think about it.  That's of immense value.  I'm biased, but it's true.

With training in Physics, you have the abstract ability to do many things, including software.\n\nHowever, only you really can tell what kind of job suits you. \n\nIf this is just a stop-gap measure, I'd read up on C++ or Java and try to get an entry-level job coding. Practical experience won't hurt, even if you eventually go back to Physics.

Lot's of good schools for that.  Check out Phds.org   \nthey let you rate what's important to you in a grad school.

You may want to check into the University of California in Santa Cruz.  As I understand it, you can tailor a degree program to fit your specific focus of interest.  The field you are talking about is probably not offered as a specific post graduate degree, rather you will most likely need to focus on the topic while getting your post graduate degree in something like art history or art theory (depending on your specific focus in gay and lesbian studies).  I would check out liberal arts schools.  Maybe this answer is of no help, but I believe that you CAN achieve your educational goal.

You can become an engineer with a BS in Physics.\n\nCheck Salary.com for pay scales and job descriptions.

Go to U.S. News and World Report (below), they rank US graduate schools by department type.  You will be able to look at the rankings (and why they are ranked that way) and find which school is right for you.  Good luck!

Academic pedigree.  Don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't matter.  It does.  Where you did your undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral work counts.  And with whom counts.  It would also help if you already had some independent funding set up.  Theoretical fields are harder to get funded, and money talks loudly.

MBA is best. But you can also go for physics. its interesting. i also have physcis.

Here are some good topics for your Physics Project:\n\nI. Algebraic Quantum Field Theory \nII. Quantum Information Theory \nIII. Phase, the Operator Conjugate to the Number Operator \nIV. IAMP-approved problems \nV. Skyrmions \nVI. Yang-Mills-Shaw Theory \n\nRefer to this website for more info:\n\nhttp://www.mth.kcl.ac.uk/~streater/regainedcauses.html

Physics, Maths and did I say physics and maths?\n\nI'm not sure what level you're at now, if you haven't started a degree then looking towards going to a place that has a strong nuclear physics group inside the physics department would be a good idea.\n\nIf you want to work in a nuclear power plant then a nuclear engineering degree would probably be better than nuclear physics though if you want to research and design the next generation of power plants then nuclear physics is probably what you'll want.

There are some fields of human activity that exist and develop, solely for the advancement of knowledge, regardless of whether we find any use of that knowledge or not. Theoretical Physics in general (and particle physics in particular), happens to be one of those fields. Though the results of particle physics may someday prove useful in many areas that DO exist solely for their utility, theoretical and experimental particle physics, for the most part, do not have the utility factor in view. \n\nHence, particle physicists do not need to provide justification of their discoveries of particles in materialistic or utilitarian terms. I hope that answers your question.

Yes, physics is interesting and it is the study of how nature works. Keep trying and thinking about things. Develop your logic and things will be easier to understand.

WELL, I don't know what to tell you here.  If I had to answer the question from a outside perspective (i.e. not having a B.S. in math and a physics minor myself), I would say having the physics minor is a sign that not only are you able to conquer the rigid world of mathematics, but that you are flexible enough to apply the math to a specific discipline, in your case physics, rather than just having a pure logic style of thinking that turns math majors into math Ph.Ds.  \n\nFrom my personal perspective, it hasn't meant much.  I'm headed into the education field since I haven't been able to solidify a job doing anything I'm interested in related to math or physics.  I hope you have a better student services/job placement program at your school.

Another category is phenomenology, which lies somewhere between experimental and theoretical.\n\nDistinct from all of those, which aim for new scientific knowledge or confirming theories, is applied physics, which takes the existing body of knowledge and makes use of it in real life problems.

Depends what you want to do in life!\n\nBut a few are really good general degrees. My advise is avoid anything that ends in "studies".\n\nresearch what jobs graduates from the course go on to get, and  what further qualifications would be needed.\n\nMaths and Physics degrees are always in high demand, everywhere. Psychology is an interesting and useful degree. avoid sociology, english language, philosophy, anyhting that seems too easy or even "interesting" - the best degrees are seen as "boring"!

dear friend if you are seriously interested then you can learn physics from any book in the library. best way to select the book is first decide what to you want to study, then go to a good library and skim through the relevant books, and read the book which you find most easy to grasp, and solve some problems. remember if you will not solve the problems you will never learn anything. some of the best books are Feynman lectures, Resnick Halliday, Berkeley Physics course, Zeemansky-Sears,H.A Goldstein-Classical Mech., DJ Griffith-Electrodyn. Modern QM -Sakurai etc..\nthese are not the only one there are lot more an dyou can find out from there bibligraphy and references which are the ones you need.
