BS in Astrophysics

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Tufts University

Program Overview

Astrophysics concerns itself with everything from the small-scale to the large-scale structure of the universe, through detailed study of the light we observe from distant objects. Light is the cosmic messenger, and since the properties of the light are determined entirely by the physical properties of its source and the objects between the source and the Earth, astronomers learn about the properties both of distant objects and the intervening medium through careful examination of the light that reaches us. Moreover, since light takes time to reach us, astronomers can look back in time, nearly to the birth of the universe, by studying the light from extremely distant objects.
