Bachelor [Astronomy and Physics] From Wheaton College

The mark of a Wheaton physics education at all levels is to complement rigorous coursework with experiences that call students to experiment and confront uncertainty.

By the time they graduate, all of our students have worked on original scientific research. Research in our department is concentrated in the areas of optics, lasers, astronomy, climate physics, and planetary science. Students have co-authored papers published in top journals, and presented their research at national scientific meetings.
