Probably no other single intellectual endeavor captures the
imagination of human beings like the study of stars and galaxies in
the night sky. At least part of this fascination is kindled by our
interest in discovering our connection to the rest of the vast
universe.
At Valparaiso University, the Department of Physics and
Astronomy continues to develop its program of study in astronomy and
astrophysics to help students in all majors understand and appreciate
the wonders of this universe. Building upon our strong basic physics
program, we also offer a major in physics with an emphasis in
astronomy and space science.

astronomy program and how you can be involved.
