I'll be taking my son to visit Tufts and Northeastern to look at their Physics grad schools. Anyone have opinion or knowledge about these programs ?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Good luck to your boy.Cant answer for those two schools but interesting enough my son is getting his undergrad in physics this May. He just interviewd at NIH in Bethesda. If that works ot they will sponsor him at American Catholic Univ in DC.
But if it doesnt work out what was highly recommended to him was the physics graduate program at Umass Lowell . I guess its recognized in the field itself.

My son just wanted to go the grad school route.
We are checking out Georgetown this weekend.
Nice thing about Physics is almost all the schools waive tuition and
give about a $23,000 stipend.
Northeastern has great connections in the area for jobs and is strong in stem.
Does he want a phD?

Yes, Profs and their research is one of the most important things for Grad School. Thanks for the info on Tufts research.Yes, but on the other hand, Tufts has a much higher reputation internationally for research. I suppose, as it is nearly always the case, it depends on what his son wants to do afterwards.

US News has NE ranked 60th and Tufts ranked 77th. Obviously the faculty is a huge part of the rankings. If your son knows his area of interest, then he should compare the quality and the specialties of the faculty in that area. Otherwise, he should go with the best school.I'll be taking my son to visit Tufts and Northeastern to look at their Physics grad schools. Anyone have opinion or knowledge about these programs ?

For research in Physics specifically? Obviously, in general it does. Certainly seems like a case where the expertise of the individual professors and how that aligns with the students interests is going to be the tie-breaker here, regardless.
