<p>What are some good California schools for physics, preferably applied or engineering physics. So far I know about Stanford but I can’t seem to find any other schools that really stand out. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Caltech. certainly an equal to stanford, but i’ve heard its more theoretical</p>
<p>UCSB has an outstanding physics department. Take a look at their College of Creative Studies program [College</a> of Creative Studies, UC Santa Barbara - Physics - Home](<a href=“http://www.ccs.ucsb.edu/physics/]College”>http://www.ccs.ucsb.edu/physics/)</p>
<p>Thanks for the information. I’ve added Caltech to my list (definite reach) and will look into UC Santa Barbara :)</p>
