Physics and astronomy are attempts to understand and predict natural phenomena, using a few conceptual models tested by experiment and observation. Through concentration in physics or astrophysics, students acquire a general, flexible foundation for graduate study or for professional work in physics, astronomy or engineering. For students majoring in other disciplines, the problem-solving and critical-thinking skills developed in physics and astronomy courses are valuable in a wide range of fields from architecture to law. Students interested in both physics and mathematics are invited to major in mathematics-physics or astrophysics. Astronomy courses incorporate the use of modern observing and image-processing equipment in Bradley Observatory. In addition, students can make observations using national facilities, such as the Very Large Array in Socorro, N.M. Department
