Ohio State University’s BA in Astronomy and Astrophysics offers students a foundation in the physics of the universe while maintaining flexibility to pursue interdisciplinary interests. Unlike the BS version, the BA track emphasizes theoretical and conceptual frameworks, mathematical modeling, and scientific inquiry rather than intensive lab work. Students explore topics such as cosmology, black holes, stellar evolution, and observational techniques. The program prepares students for careers in science communication, education, policy, or further academic research. With access to OSU’s Planetarium and faculty conducting cutting-edge space research, students cultivate a deep understanding of the cosmos and humanity’s place in it.
