My brother is looking for a school in the San Diego area to get his
master's degree at.  He's not sure what his major would be at this
point, but he has a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in physics
from Annapolis Naval Academy.  Fields of study that he is interested in
are computer science, software engineering, and scientific programming --
especially in the area of physics or astro-physics.

So, my question is, what schools in the San Diego area have programs that
are strong in some or all of these areas, and what is each school's
strengths and weaknesses?  I know that there are two state schools in the
area, UCSD and SDSU, and there's also a University of San Diego, but I
don't have any current information on the quality of these schools.
I would appreciate any information on these or others schools in the area
that you think would be worth considering.  I would prefer e-mail
responses.

Thanks in advance.  If others also would like this information, please
let me know via email.  I will either mail the responses I receive to you
or post them if the number of requests is very large.
