Added to this basis are the General Education components and the specialized courses of the field of study.

It takes advantage of our department's observatory facilities, including an instrumented 1-meter telescope (the largest University research telescope in the southeastern United States), and folds them into laboratory components of the program, combining mathematics, physics, optics, astronomy, astrophysics, and instrumentation.

The program?s strong emphasis on fundamental mathematics and applied sciences provides the flexibility to enter a broad variety of industrial and basic science applications, as well as graduate programs in related fields.
