    Program Description

    Embry-Riddle’s Bachelor of Science in Space Physics is the only undergraduate space physics program in the U.S. It is designed for students with superior math and science skills who have a strong interest in space-related research. Space Physics majors work under the direction of research-active physicists who share their passion for understanding the universe. The Space Physics program at ERAU engages students in the scientific side of space exploration through studies of the Earth-Sun environment, atmospheric sciences, aurorae, planetary sciences, laboratory plasma physics, and exoplanets.

    A Space Physics degree provides a strong experimental physics background, so graduates emerge from the program ready to work in basic or applied research or within the rapidly expanding commercial space industry. Graduates of the program are also well-prepared for careers in medical physics, biophysics, plasma physics, and in the military and security sectors.

    There may be additional academic and living expenses by this University.
