天体物理学集中和天体物理学的新的中学领域提供小班授课，物理科学系最高的师生比以及前往偏远天文台的机会。学生们经常追求与物理学或地球与行星科学的共同关注。哈佛-史密森天体物理学中心位于拉德克利夫四边形对面的花园街60号，是世界上最大的天体物理学研究中心之一，在亚利桑那州，智利，夏威夷和太空中拥有350多名科学家和强大的天文台。鼓励有兴趣参加学期或夏季研究的本科生联系Edo Berger教授，讨论众多机会，从寻找附近恒星绕行的行星到了解大爆炸和加速宇宙的探索。
The Astrophysics Concentration and new Secondary Field in Astrophysics offer small class sizes, the highest faculty-to-student ratio of the physical science departments, and the opportunity to travel to remote astronomical observatories. Students often pursue a joint concentration with either Physics or Earth & Planetary Sciences. The Center for Astrophysics Harvard & Smithsonian, located at 60 Garden Street opposite the Radcliffe Quadrangle, is one of the world's great centers for research in astrophysics, with over 350 scientists and powerful astronomical observatories in Arizona, Chile, Hawaii, and in space. Undergraduate students interested in participating in either term-time or summer research are encouraged to contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies to discuss the numerous opportunities, which range from the hunt for planets orbiting nearby stars to the quest to understand the Big Bang and the accelerating Universe.
