地球与太空探索科学学士学位（天体物理学）

地球和太空探索专业处于探索的边缘，它们对我们的星球，太阳系和宇宙都有新发现。我们的天体物理学专业的学生正在发现新的行星，探索宇宙学，设计和建造太空飞行硬件，并设计用于望远镜和卫星的新仪器。专注于天体物理学的地球和太空探索学士学位旨在为学生提供天文学和天体物理学的基础知识，并接触地质学，行星科学和工程学的相关领域。学生从该程序中脱颖而出，具有从事天体物理学，物理学或相关领域的技能。严格的课程包括在地球与太空探索学院和物理系教授的物理课程的组合。学生应从该计划中毕业，并具有在国家一级参加标准化物理考试的能力。
The BS program in earth and space exploration with a concentration in astrophysics is designed to offer students a fundamental grounding in astronomy and astrophysics, with exposure to the related fields of geology, planetary science and engineering.<br><br>Students of the astrophysics major develop a background in theoretical modeling and observational techniques of galactic and stellar astronomy, extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. They learn to think critically about scientific problems by reducing the complexity to more tractable components.<br><br>The rigorous and quantitative coursework includes a combination of physics courses taught in the ASU School of Earth and Space Exploration and the Department of Physics. The tools of astronomical discovery are increasingly dependent on technological advances, and students are exposed to engineering principles and computer programming. Through the capstone project in the senior year, students gain valuable experience in translating science drivers into engineering solutions.
