What will I learn?

The BS in physics and astronomy degree is intended primarily for students with an interest in astronomy or related aspects of space science. It provides the solid foundation in physics needed for such careers, and also provides a background in astronomy. The department offers several tracks to the bachelor’s degree in physics or physics and astronomy. In addition, the department offers minor and certificate options.

It is desirable for students intending to major in the department, or simply wondering whether they should, to discuss their plans with one of the department’s advisors as soon as possible.
