Hi,
I am an ECE engineer. I want to switch to astrophysics. I want to be a theoretical astrophysicist. I am planning to write PGRE for dat as well.
While i was searching for colleges, only a few offers ms in astrophysics . Most of them offer MS in astronomy only. Most of those schools which offer astrophysics programs are either ivy league or may be way too down the list.
Are these courses essentially the same or should I go for ms in astronomy then phd in astrophysics? Will it make any difference?
Kindly reply. I know this has been discussed before but i was unable to come across a satisfactory conclusion.
