         The Masters degree in Radiological Health Physics (RHP) program has been reinstated and we accepted the first group of students for the program in Fall 2009. The program reinstatement is included in the SDSU 2011-2012 graduate catalog (both online and print). This option has been applied retrospectively to the students in the Master of Sciences program in Physics who were specializing in Medical Physics. It should be noted that the change was made to a Masters degree in Radiological Health Physics rather than to a Masters degree in Medical Physics for administrative ease, since the former action required only reinstatement of an existing degree program. We are CAMPEP accredited effective January 2010 and have funding for the program from the US Department of Education (FIPSE) and from the National Science Foundation (NSF).


         It should be noted that prior to the reinstatement of the Masters degree in RHP in the fall of 2009, we have offered the Masters degree in Physics with a RHP emphasis for the past ten years. Thus most of the courses have been taught and refined over several years and we have successfully graduated over 45 medical physicists. Our alumni have found successful careers as medical physicists or have gone on to join well known PhD programs.
