Both programs are designed for students interested in STEM careers, while also providing excellent preparation for non-STEM fields. With the appropriate electives, you can open doors to a significantly wider range of careers, including law, journalism, teaching, healthcare, administration, and business. Our Physics and Astronomy faculty members are world-renowned leaders in their fields. From cutting-edge astrophysics, quantum materials, and laser experiments to space-based plasma physics experiments and theory, we offer unique learning experiences.
