Space Physics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Prescott is a Campus Bachelor Astronomy degree that prepares you for a Science career. Overview Physics is the study of forces, space, and time at its most basic level and provides the foundation for all physical sciences. Explore the fundamental forces in nature through experimental investigation of atomic, nuclear, and elementary particle systems. The Bachelor of Science in Space Physics is an applied physics program designed to produce graduates who can work in space- and aerospace-related industries. The program offers a choice from four areas of concentration: Astrophysics - Evolution of the stars, structure of galaxies, search for dark matter and objects such as black holes, quasars and neutrinos. Remote sensing - Development of remote sensing devices including radar, infrared, optical, X-ray and gamma-ray, for spacecraft as well as scientific, commercial, civil and military applications. Particle physics and cosmology - Study the physical processes that started the universe including the Big Bang theory, the expanding universe, and general relativity. Exotic propulsion systems - Nonchemical propulsion systems for manned spaced missions, including plasma, nuclear thermal and matter-antimatter engines. You'll study the "micro" and "macro" universe through the use of high-precision detectors and have the advantage of Embry-Riddle's dedicated faculty and state-of-the art labs and equipment. The combination of laboratory skills and fundamental scientific knowledge prepares you to make discoveries that will promote the exploration of space and add to the body of knowledge in science.
