High energy astrophysics schools

[Catria]

I realize that I want to do high energy astrophysics (thereafter designated as HEAP). I applied at the MSc level at McGill to do just that. (I have alternate schools for different physical subjects: my own undergraduate school for white dwarves/exoplanets, York for dark energy)

But, if I somehow got in (and graduated), what other schools are there for HEAP, once PhD time comes around the corner? I'm more familiar with the white dwarf landscape, though; there isn't many white dwarf schools (U Delaware, U Texas are the ones I might consider for the PhD if I did white dwarves at the MSc level).

If I'm looking for HEAP PhD programs, some universities that offer them include the University of Chicago, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Stanford, and Cornell. These universities have all had distinguished faculty in various fields of high energy astrophysics, and have conducted groundbreaking research in the field. Other universities with strong programs in this field include Caltech, UC Berkeley, the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of Michigan, the University of California-Santa Cruz, and the University of Arizona. Additionally, several national laboratories, such as the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) offer fellowships for graduate study in high energy astrophysics and related fields. In addition to universities and national laboratories, there are also many research institutes that focus on high energy astrophysics, including the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC), the Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (ITAMP), the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA). These institutions often offer postdoctoral positions as well as summer internships with their research groups.
