Astronomy at Haverford
The astronomy major is a good fit for students who want an in-depth education in astronomy that can be applied to a range of careers as well as further study in astronomy. Our faculty work at the cutting edge of modern astronomy and cosmology, creating exceptional research opportunities for majors.
At 7 p.m. on Friday, October 12, Haverford's Strawbridge Observatory will hold a family-friendly public observing event. Photo: Thom Carroll Photography.
