Physics is crucial to understanding the world around us, the
world inside us, and the world beyond us. It is the most basic
and fundamental science. Physics challenges our imaginations with
concepts like relativity and string theory, and it leads to great
discoveries, like computers and lasers, that change our lives.
The physics department at CSUEB offers a comprehensive curriculum
with a hands-on philosophy to learning that includes seven laboratory
courses and a strong emphasis on undergradate research. The program
prepares students for careers in basic research, science education,
engineering and is an excellent foundation for professional school
in medicine and patent law.
