• The astrophysics and astronomy masters program prepares students for discovering new planets, exploring cosmology, and building space-flight hardware and instruments for telescopes and satellites.
  • Students work with world-class faculty on NASA- and NSF-funded space missions, seeking answers to questions about how the universe began and how it continues to evolve.
  • The MS program in astrophysics and astronomy provides fundamental graduate training in both astrophysics and astronomy.
  • Students take graduate-level courses in stars and interstellar media, galaxies, and cosmology; obtain quantitative skills through analysis and modelling, and they may have observation opportunities through regional and international telescope observatories.
