I started with a BS in Physics and Math. My school had theoretical physics undergraduate courses. Then my MS degree in theoretical Physics with a minor in Math. Then my PHD in Theoretical Physics, with a work study program.

Theoretical physicists have a PhD in physics. That’s 4 years of undergraduate school (major in physics and math) and 4-7 years of graduate school in physics. And probably a few post-docs as well.

Some good schools for theoretical physics are Harvard, MIT, CalTech, U Chicago, Stanford, U Toronto, and Berkeley.

If you really want to work as a theoretical physicist, you should get a PhD in physics.

All physics is theory.

You probably need a doctorate in Physics.
