The Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy program is designed for students seeking comprehensive knowledge in astronomy, mathematics, and physics without pursuing advanced astrophysics studies. This versatile foundation equips graduates for diverse career paths such as planetarium and museum positions, astronomy instruction at higher education institutions, secondary school teaching, science journalism, or any field valuing strong learning capabilities. The Physics Department supports students passionate about physics and related sciences through dedicated faculty who nurture development via coursework, research projects, and personalized mentorship. Both fundamental and applied physics programs can be customized to align with individual academic goals. Lehigh University provides multiple undergraduate physics-related degrees: Bachelor of Science in Physics, Bachelor of Arts in Physics (College of Arts and Sciences), Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics (College of Engineering and Applied Science), Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy (College of Arts and Sciences), and Bachelor of Science in Astrophysics. The initial three programs share foundational physics and math requirements, allowing students to delay specialization decisions until after their first year, with flexible options for later adjustments.
