The School of Physical Sciences is one of the schools of the University of California, Irvine (UCI). The school enrolls 1,400 undergraduate and graduate students and is among one of the top schools in the nation in the amount of degrees it confers in the area of physical sciences, in particular chemistry and physics. [1] In 1995 the school gained international prominence when Frank Sherwood Rowland, a professor in chemistry and Frederick Reines, a professor in physics won the Nobel Prize in their respective fields. It was the first time two people won the prize in the same year in two different fields at the same public university. [1]
