Physics & Astronomy

Physicists and astronomers use analytical thinking and a strong understanding of the fundamental laws of nature to describe the world around us, from the smallest particles to our galaxy and universe. Basic physics research leads to new technologies that change our lives, including computers, internet, cell phones, MRI, GPS, and sustainable energy solutions. A bachelor’s degree in physics makes you a problem solver and opens the doors to careers in industry, government, healthcare, consulting, and even on Wall Street. It prepares you well for graduate studies, not only in physics and astronomy, but also in many other science and engineering disciplines.
