Overview

The Physics- Astronomy Major is offered by Kutztown University. Astronomy is interested not only in describing these things, but in understanding how they are formed and how they change and, ultimately, in reconstructing the history of the universe.

Key Facts

This understanding is always based upon the same set of theories and practices across several academic disciplines—physics, chemistry, material science, mathematics, computer science—which are used to understand the nature of life and all of existence. In KU’s on-campus observatory, planetarium, and physics laboratories, you’ll apply theoretical knowledge from your classes to create your own projects, using sophisticated technology to study motion, astronomy, and engineering. You’ll work one-on-one with KU Physics and Astronomy faculty, not teaching assistants, on original research projects and student theses.
