Bachelors in Astrophysical Sciences

This program offers an outstanding program for astronomy majors at Princeton University. The program is known for its excellence in research and teaching. Our students carry out three independent research projects, in collaboration with a faculty adviser, on topics that range from planetary science to stars, galaxies, black holes, dark-matter, cosmology, the early universe, and more. The relatively small size of the department provides a warm and supportive atmosphere, informal and friendly interactions, and a flexible program plan.
