MSc in Medical Physics in San Diego United States | San Diego State University

The Department of Physics at San Diego State University is committed to offering every undergraduate and graduate student the fullest opportunity to realize his or her potential as a physicist. The department has a history of teaching excellence and a commitment to continuing this tradition. Although SDSU is a very large institution (over 30,000 students), class sizes in the physics department are small. The personal attention offered to each student is similar to that which exists at considerably smaller institutions. We take a personal stake in the success of each and every student. Faculty members are always very accessible to undergraduate and graduate students alike.

The Master's degree program is a rigorous curriculum requiring both course work and a thesis (M.S. only). Typically, M.S. theses result in scientific publications for the students. The broad range of professional interests of our faculty affords our students a the opportunity of choosing among a wide range of thesis topics, many of which in applied phyics. A M.S. degree in Physics from SDSU is a highly respected degree, not just a consolation prize as is often the case at other institutions. Like our bachelors students, our Master's degree graduates are highly regarded by both industry and academia.
