पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program the tools to stretch human understanding of the cosmos, from the building blocks of matter to the structure and evolution of the most distant galaxies. Physics theory courses are complemented by courses teaching students about modern techniques of experimentation. Students are also encouraged to pursue independent study and summer research opportunities on and off campus to enhance their classroom learning and allow them to explore an area of modern physics or astronomy in more depth. Astronomy courses emphasize observation, including the use of the Delafield Planetarium, individual telescopes and other modern observing and image-processing equipment in Bradley Observatory. In addition, students can make observations using national astronomy facilities as well as northern and southern hemisphere 1-meter class telescopes through the college’s membership in the Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA). Through the study of these disciplines, students acquire a general, flexible foundation for graduate study or for professional work in physics, astronomy and other quantitative fields. For students majoring in other disciplines, the problem-solving and critical-thinking skills developed in physics and astronomy courses are valuable in a wide range of fields.
