Tarleton has outstanding astonomical facilities including an observatory with the the largest telescope of any undergraduate physics program. In fact, Tarleton fully robotic telescope is superior to astronomical facilities used by graduate students at most research universities including Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas State, UNT, UTA, UTD, Rice, and the University of Houston. The Astronomy track is designed for a student interested in applying their knoweldge of physics toward the study of astronomical phenomena. The student will obtain a solid background in Physics and Mathematics necessary for future graduate training as well as completing a series of astronomy courses and an undergraduate research project in Astronomy with one of the TSU astronomers. Because the TSU observational facilities are the best in the Texas A&M System, you will also have the chance to work on cooperative projects with visiting A&M System faculty members and physics students.
