Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Physics and Astronomy] From Valparaiso University

The ? students at ?work together with faculty on projects that are funded by external grant agencies like the U.S. Department of Energy, NASA, and the National Science Foundation.

Astronomical Resources

Perhaps no other single intellectual endeavor captures the imagination of human beings like the study of stars and galaxies in the night sky. At least part of this fascination is kindled by an interest in discovering the earth?s connection to the rest of the vast universe.

A Sense of Purpose

At Valpo, study and research is motivated by a conviction that there is an underlying order, symmetry, and beauty in nature, which we believe are God?s manifestations. The Department of Physics and Astronomy therefore strives to:

• communicate this knowledge and its limitations

• motivate students to achieve a greater understanding, appreciation, and support of scientific inquiry

• overcome widespread scientific illiteracy

• and promote the development of morally responsible citizens, concerned about our environment and our society.
