What Our Students Are Saying
I chose to attend Cal State LA to pursue my Master’s in MSE because the ongoing research in the program fascinated me. In addition, I made real connections with the understanding and supportive faculty who see their students as complete people with real responsibilities and not just bodies sitting at desks with perfect lives. The Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Laboratory (AM2L) on campus really caught my attention. Being on the cutting edge of innovation provides an elevated feeling of fulfillment doing research. Also, my MSE cohort is made up of equal numbers of men and women, who have a collective aspiration to push themselves to do more.
