Astrophysics

We are curious about the objects we see in the sky: wondering what they are, where they came from, and why they are there. Astronomers and astrophysics work to find the answers to these questions, and a major in astrophysics will involve you in that effort. Majors have the opportunity to be involved in research that spans the range from observational studies of stars and galaxies at telescopes around the world to computational studies of the evolution of stars, planetary systems, and extragalactic jets. For those interested in furthering their studies in this area, we also offer Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programs in astronomy.
