Overview

Program Description Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Bachelor of Science in Space Physics degree program lets students explore the fundamental forces in nature through investigating atomic, nuclear and elementary particle systems. This applied physics program is designed to produce graduates prepared for space and aerospace-related careers. Working with a dedicated faculty with state-of-the art labs and equipment, students graduate prepared to promote the exploration of space and add to the body of knowledge in science. Students can choose from three areas of specialization: Astroparticle Physics Exotic Propulsion Gravitational Physics and Cosmology At the Prescott Campus, students are immersed in designing experiments and building the equipment to conduct their research. Students will have extensive opportunities to work closely with dedicated faculty and participate in hands-on experiences at state-of-the-art campus observatory and labs. The clear air of Prescott's mile-high campus provides excellent viewing capability from the 12-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. The Prescott Observatory Complex was ranked among the Top 25 Best College Astronomy Observatories according to CollegeRank.net. The Radio Observatory consists of several radio dishes and antennae, each connected to specialized receiving and analysis equipment. Students also use specific labs for optics, exotic propulsion, and cosmic ray, as well the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Due to the strong emphasis on experimental physics, graduates are well-suited to enter a variety of fields in industry and graduate programs. In addition to employment in research and the space program, graduates with physics degrees will pursue diverse space physics careers in fields such as medical physics, biophysics, plasma physics and other areas that utilize physicists, such as the military and security sector.

About the Institution

The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University of today is the product of a long and prestigious history. In 1925, pilot John Paul Riddle met entrepreneur T. Higbee Embry, and together, they formed the Embry-Riddle Company to teach the adventurous to fly. This partnership was the beginning of a vision that has produced more than 140,000 alumni who drive innovation and keep the aerospace and related industries running safely and productively. By 1951, the school was named Embry-Riddle International School of Aviation, and it was living up to the moniker, as its reputation was expanding globally as st...
