Venue description

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at ETSU offers curricula leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in physics. Modern and well-equipped laboratories along with relatively small class sizes in the upper-level courses result in a strong academic department with substantial personal interaction between faculty members and students. Students with an interest in astronomy will gain observational experience at either the ETSU campus observatory or the SARA observatory on Kitt Peak in Arizona. Opportunities for additional undergraduate research experiences in astronomy and biophysics are also available.
