Physics, M.S.

California State University - Fullerton

The Master of Science in Physics develops and deepens students’ knowledge of fundamental physics and its applications. Students learn advanced mathematical, computational and experimental techniques that prepare them to expand the frontiers of physics knowledge and apply physics concepts and methods in technical settings. The curriculum prepares students for entry into doctoral programs in physics and astronomy, as well as for entry or professional advancement into government or industrial professions requiring advanced or specific physics knowledge. Physics is the natural science that deals with the properties and interactions of matter and radiation. As such, physics provides the fundamental basis for all other sciences, and for applied science fields such as engineering and the health sciences. Many physicists engage in research designed to expand the frontiers of physical knowledge others engage in the application of physics concepts in industry and in private and government laboratories.
