School

I am interested in PhD in Physics but since my undergraduate degree was in something else, I am planning to earn a Master’s degree before applying to PhD schools. Does anyone know any university in California with a good placement rate into a PhD program? Should I consider out of state schools?

Here’s a link to all of the graduate level physics programs in California: http://programs.gradschools.com/california/physics.html

It seems to me that you should be able to find something without going out of state.

The California State Universities’ highest degree is the master’s (the only Ph.D.’s offered are in conjunction with a Ph.D. granting school — and none of those are in Physics.)

Good luck
