Bachelor of Science in Astrobiology

Students in the astrobiology program receive a broad education in areas that include planetary science, extrasolar planets and the origin of life. At the same time, students take a solid core of mathematics, physics and biology courses, allowing them to pursue a wide range of interests. To our knowledge, Florida Tech's astrobiology degree program is the first and only undergraduate astrobiology program in the country. Astrobiology degree graduates are ready for graduate studies in astrophysics, planetary science or biology, as well as careers in the aerospace or biotech-related industries. Whether you want to study the effects of space travel on humans, discover past or present microbial life on Mars, or help develop ways to sustain life on the moon, you will be well prepared with an astrobiology degree from Florida Tech. Here, you'll develop a strong background in physics and biology and get hands-on experience with space science technologies.
