University Majors

University of California, San Diego
Physics with Specialization in Materials Physics B.S.

The materials physics specialization is designed to support a broad range of options, so students may pursue (1) a terminal B.S. Degree, or preparation for (2) graduate work in materials science, or (3) graduate work in physics. This flexibility is afforded by a wide range of restricted electives which allows students to design much of their own program while simultaneously maintaining the essential physics-based curriculum. Academic advising will be provided by the department to assist the student in navigating through the many options. The B.S. program also serves as the entry to the integrated five-year B.S./M.S. program.
