Return to Physics, B.S. .
Students may earn a B.S. in physics with a concentration in astrophysics. This program is intended for those students who desire an emphasis on studying the physical processes of astronomical objects in the Universe. It provides a rigorous background in physics with a combination of theoretical and observational studies of planets, stars and galaxies. It is a good choice for students who wish to continue their studies in graduate astronomy programs, or who wish to work in positions at observatories, laboratories and governmental agencies. It is also an appropriate degree for science educators, and science journalists.
