Department of Physics and Astronomy

The University of Georgia Department of Physics and Astronomy offers undergraduate degrees in Astrophysics and Physics. It also offers comprehensive graduate degrees at both the Masters and Doctorate levels.

Undergraduate Degrees
Students in the BS in Astrophysics degree program will learn the fundamental study of physics with observational astronomy and astrophysics. Emphasis is placed on applying theory to current astronomical and astrophysical problems and on individual research. Students in the BS in Physics degree program will learn the foundational theories of classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and quantum mechanics.
