Welcome to the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers an excellent undergraduate curriculum combined with a low student-faculty ratio to provide a strong understanding of physics and astronomy. Graduate work in physics-related areas is also offered.

A new physics and astronomy homepage is under development. In the meantime, please click here to continue to the existing site.
