<p>i know this might be tedious.. but hopefully somebody can help me</p>
<p>can somebody post ranks 1-30 ish from usnews or any other rankings
i'm extremely curious and always only get to see the first 3 or something</p>
<p>I do not have rankings for Astronomy and astrophysics, but then again, I don't think reliable rankings in the field have been published in the last decade. I can however list more than a mere three good departments. Here are a dozen or so excellent astro programs I know about:</p>
<p>GROUP I (from the little I know, those are supposed to be the best):
California Institute of Technology
Cornell University
Harvard University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Princeton University
University of California-Berkeley</p>
<p>GROUP II (definitely top 25 in the field of Astrophysics and Astronomy):
Columbia University
Stanford University
University of Arizona
University of California-Los Angeles
University of California-Santa Cruz
University of Colorado-Boulder
University of Hawaii-Manoa
University of Maryland-College Park
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Texas-Austin
University of Virginia
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Yale University</p>
