Overview

In Physics, one attempts to discover, formulate, explain, and apply the basic laws of nature. Physicists work in areas as diverse as astrophysics, relativity, properties of materials, or the standard model of fundamental particles and interactions. The Principles of Physics provide the foundation for other sciences as well as engineering. Some of the examples of modern technological development from the application of physical principles include radio and television, computers, laser scanners, and communication by fiber optics. In addition, physicists explore problems in astronomy and theories for the origin and evolution of the universe. At Cal State East Bay students can choose between a Bachelor of Science (B.S) degree and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree with a major in Physics. The B.S. degree major program is designed to give students an understanding of the fundamentals of physics including concepts of atomic and nuclear physics, classical mechanics, wave motion and sound, electromagnetism and optics, heat and thermodynamics, relativity, quantum mechanics, and elementary particles and their interactions. Students graduating with a B.S. in Physics from Cal State East Bay will be able to: Explain the fundamental principles of physics and be able to apply these core ideas to analyze physical processes; Apply quantitative reasoning and critical thinking to solve complex problems, both theoretical and experimental in nature; Independently learn new technical subjects and skills; Design, construct, assess and troubleshoot experiments, quantitatively analyze the results using appropriate statistical procedures and tests of systematic errors, and draw meaningful conclusions; Effectively discuss scientific ideas, both theoretical and experimental, to diverse audiences through written and oral presentations, both formal and informal; Work professionally, effectively, and inclusively as a member of diverse collaborations to solve problems.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
