They (like UO) are probably higher in this set of rankings than they should be, but are another example of a strong department that isn't well known outside the field.steve hsuhttp://duende.uoregon.edu/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-19482868260332996182012-05-08T13:45:58.556-04:002012-05-08T13:45:58.556-04:00Is the UC Santa Cruz rating mostly from the astrop...Is the UC Santa Cruz rating mostly from the astrophysics department or does it have other strong physics subfields?

UC Santa Cruz has an excellent reputation in the cosmology crowd [though, if I recall correctly, the faculty is aging and represents the status quo on a lot of things].David Coughlinhttp://twitter.com/dscoughlinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-348392471463555172012-05-07T19:16:48.027-04:002012-05-07T19:16:48.027-04:00Who knew UC Santa Cruz was such a physics powerhou...Who knew UC Santa Cruz was such a physics powerhouse.Pincherhttp://pulse.yahoo.com/_UT3LO7CZPSAS423TUTB2QMMDCEnoreply@blogger.com
