The Physics Degree provides the foundation and underpinnings of everything in the physical world, and teaches you how to apply mathematics and computer technology to understand how the world functions. Physicists examine how nature works at its most fundamental levels, from the smallest scales of objects such as quarks and gluons, to the unimaginably huge scales of galaxies and the entire universe. At CSUB, Physics students also learn to solve real-world problems.

Students will utilize our new state-of-the-art 5,000 square foot Physics and Engineering facilities and will be able to take elective courses from CSUB’s Engineering programs.
