<p>I haven’t examined the physics curricula of many schools in-depth, UMTYMP, but I have a hard time imagining any of the better private or public schools not offering all the classes mentioned by ucbalumnus as well as various upper-level courses. Perhaps at some LACs you would be limited due to lack of graduate courses and substantial research, but I really think that if a student is shooting for top-tier schools the differences between the physics programs will not have a substantial effect on their education.</p>
