Grad school after Applied Physics B.S. degree

<p>I am ignorant of grad school and how it works, so hopefully someone here can help clear this up.</p>

<p>If I go to CSUSM and get an Applied Physics B.S. degree, can I go to grad school for an engineering masters degree? On another note, could I go to grad school and get a degree in something theoretical having done an Applied Physics degree?</p>

<p>What is the difference if I were to go through an engineering program for my B.S.? Is there any at all in terms of hiring? Would I be hired as an Applied Physics position or can I get the job title of an engineer?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>If your goal is get an MS in engineering or if you want to work as an engineer, why not major in engineering. Some schools have engineering physic which seems like a perfect fit for you. It is pretty much a mix of any engineering of your choice with physics</p>

<p>I would love to, but my first year of college was not outstanding so my GPA is 2.77. I go to Palomar College, so it will be easier to transfer to CSUSM than other CSU schools.</p>
