BS Astrophysics

The University of North Texas' undergraduate program in physics gives you the strong math, problem solving and analytical skills needed to study the structure and interaction of matter and energy and the way things work. From advancing state-of-the-art processes in the semiconductor industry to developing computer software for simulating exotic phenomena, physicists are helping to expand the frontiers of both basic science and advanced technology. The diversity of work conducted by physicists occurs because physical science and engineering disciplines are based, to a large extent, on physics principles. A bachelor's degree in physics also prepares students for graduate work in acoustics, astrophysics, biophysics, computational physics, medical physics and other subfields and interdisciplinary fields in physics.

UNT's Bachelor of Science in Physics with a concentration in astrophysics provides you the flexibility to pursue a physics degree with an emphasis in astronomy study.

This concentration emphasizes the understanding of universe and space through related coursework and research in astrophysics. While you explore your interest in astronomy, the courses help hone your analytical, math and communication skills for careers working with students, clients and co-workers with backgrounds in other fields.
