California State University, Fullerton is pleased to announce the establishment of the Dan Black Program in Physics & Business. This program is funded by a generous donation from alumnus Dan Black.

The capstone experience in this program helps physics students develop entrepreneurial skills.The program operates as an emphasis in our regular physics BS degree program. Students enrolled in this business emphasis take courses in the College of Business and Economics (BAE) in accounting, finance, marketing, management, and business communication in addition to the standard core courses in physics taught in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM). Seniors in the program enroll in a capstone course taught in collaboration with the College of Business and Economics. Students in this capstone course develop business plans to start new businesses that provide products or services to the general public using venture capital from program funds. Students are guided through this process by a program advisory board that includes business leaders and entrepreneurs from southern California's "Tech Coast".
