The Department of Physics, Astronomy & Geosciences at Towson University provides students with a unique environment that is ideal for the study of science. Situated in a suburb of Baltimore City, the campus resides on over 300 acres of wooded land, providing a comfortable atmosphere for all studies.

Our Department comprises several different, but related disciplines: Physics, Astronomy, Geosciences and Science Education. We offer undergraduate programs leading to a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics, Geology or Earth-Space Science; a Physics Secondary Education Program; a Dual Degree in Engineering Program leading to both a bachelor's degree in Physics from Towson University and a bachelor's degree in Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park; a Professional Science Master's (PSM) degree in Applied Physics; and minors in Physics and in Astronomy. There is also a five-year program leading to a B.S. degree in Physics and an M.S. degree in Computer Science.
