Digital badge for Astro/Particle Physics

Gain competency in the interdisciplinary fields of astro/particle physics, general relativity and cosmology. Through analysis and study, you will learn to address crucial problems and research these modern fields using critical thinking and non-linear problem-solving skills. 

You will also develop the expertise to create computational models to solve complex physics problems and generate data. A grade of B or higher in four related physics courses chosen out of five options is required to demonstrate a deep understanding of astro/particle physics and astronomy. You’ll create a portfolio of research term papers and presentations.
