Astronomy and Physics
About the Astronomy major
There is no better place to pursue astronomy than Union. Here, your physics and astronomy classes will be small and personal, with labs taught by full-time faculty rather than by graduate students, and instruction that is truly characterized by individual attention. You will also have access to advanced equipment usually reserved for graduate students at larger institutions.
About the Astrophysics minor
In small classes, you will learn about the wide spectrum of modern physics, with courses in relativity, string theory, black holes, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and other physical states and relationships that make us see the universe in very different ways.
