In Bucknell's nationally recognized physics & astronomy program, you'll explore the universe with professors who've discovered new planets and can measure the noise made by an atom — and who care deeply about your development. You can then investigate further through independent research, and share your discoveries at international conferences — making contributions that improve our understanding of the world around us and the cosmos beyond. Along the way, you'll learn job skills employers value. Our graduates go on to careers as scientists, researchers and medical physicists, or in broader fields including law, medicine and industrial science.
