About Our Programs

For many years Sonoma State University has been among the leaders in the California State University system in the percentage of undergraduates majoring in physics. Students may choose from three options: a B.S. in Physics, a B.S. in Physics with an Astrophysics Concentration, or a B.S. in Physics with an Interdisciplinary Concentration. Graduates are well prepared for graduate school, teaching credentials, and a broad variety of science, technology, and data science careers.

The department also offers minors both in physics and astronomy. All programs stress fundamental concepts and techniques, offer a remarkably rich research laboratory experience, an intensive use of computers, and require a capstone course as a culminating experience. Capstone projects may include experimental design, instructional design, or undergraduate research — personalized and unique opportunities to demonstrate the skills and knowledge acquired in the major.
