AIP Graduate Program Directory
This is not available on the Web, but a copy resides in the physics department student lounge. Come on by and take a look at it if you're interested in getting the details about any of the many physics graduate programs across the country. In it you'll find the entrance requirements (including GRE requirements), research specialty information for all of the faculty, and other important statistics to help you choose the right graduate school for physics, if that's where you're headed.
