About the course
The SDSU Physics Department is distinguished by its favorable student-to-faculty ratio: upper division physics courses average less than 25 students, and graduate courses about 10 students. The department actively promotes student-faculty contact, faculty members personally know most upper division and graduate students. Full-time faculty teach most of the undergraduate and graduate lectures and laboratory courses.
In the teaching philosophy of the SDSU Physics Department, great emphasis is placed on hands-on experience for students. A notable strength of the physics program is the active involvement of both undergraduate and graduate students in research. Our senior students become research collaborators in a partnership with the faculty. Senior and MS students participate together in a variety of research activities, including research seminars and group meetings. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
