We list the Rankings and Scores of Physics Graduate Programs in the US top 11 and the California Universities. The evaluations in list come from the US News and World Report in 2018. I think the public scores are new. The evaluations start with a top 5.0 and then decrease. They are based on evaluations by physics faculties. Repeated ranks are ties.
