About the Astrophysics Degree Program

On Campus

An Astrophysics degree from 体育菠菜大平台 allows students to apply modern methods and principles of physics to the study of the known and unknown universe. Astrophysicists seek to understand how the universe functions, from studying stars and planets to emerging research in dark matter and black holes, using that knowledge to discover truths about the history of the universe and to begin to understand where we may be heading. 

Astrophysics majors take courses in physics, chemistry, computer science, quantum mechanics and more under faculty with real-world research experience, setting them up with a strong foundation to continue their education at higher levels and meaningfully contribute to a field committed to unraveling the longest held mysterious of the universe around us.
