Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Astrophysics] From Tufts University

The steady progress in understanding these laws of nature is one of the great triumphs of the human intellect. We invite you to share that understanding by choosing a physics or astronomy major or minor, or by taking one or more of our courses for non-majors. We offer courses for non-science students; introductory courses for students in the life sciences, physical sciences and engineering; and advanced courses for majors and minors. Classes at all levels are taught by full-time faculty and, beyond the introductory level, class size is very small.

Our faculty offer many opportunities for students to pursue supervised research projects in a wide range of fields (e.g. astronomy, elementary particle physics, condensed matter physics). We strongly encourage our majors and minors to become involved in research in order to develop a close relationship with a professor, contribute to cutting-edge research (in some cases co-authoring articles for publication), and develop skills beyond those that can be learned in a classroom.
