EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Texas ranked based on their research performance in Physics. A graph of 17.3M citations received by 582K academic papers made by 74 universities in Texas was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
