About the course

Physics is the field of study concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy: how we define measurable quantities, like energy and speed, and how these concepts are related (for example, Newton?s Law of gravity or the theory of special relativity). If you want to learn more about how the universe is structured and functions, consider studying physics at the University of Utah. In addition to learning scientific and theoretical concepts and facts, physicists also develop excellent analytical thinking skills and problem-solving techniques, and expertise in computational methods.

　　The Physics major with an Astronomy and Astrophysics Emphasis prepares students for graduate school in Astronomy or Astrophysics. At its core, it is the same sequence of courses that are in the Physics Bachelor?s Degree, but the depth and breadth courses have been replaced with astronomy electives, allowing students to study astronomy as an undergraduate. Because it is a strong physics degree, students with this degree also attend graduate school in other areas of physics, or related fields. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
