Overview

The astrophysics program at Illinois Tech is physics-intensive, and therefore provides a deep understanding of the fundamental physical laws underpinning all of astrophysics. The program covers planetary, stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astrophysics as well as cosmology and observational astrophysics. Hone optical observing techniques on a department-operated 130-mm Takahashi telescope. The close-knit department offers many opportunities to get involved in research. Academically, our bachelor degrees in astrophysics and physics are designed to allow most students obtain dual degrees in both fields in four years. The dual-degree option is distinctively advantageous, providing the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to open more doors post-graduation than either an astrophysics or physics degree alone. Graduates have gone on to graduate school in both astrophysics and physics. The physics-intensive nature of the astrophysics degree also offers exceptional preparation for employment in the private or public sectors immediately upon graduation.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
