专业概况

Learning Outcomes

Astronomy majors will be able to:

• demonstrate understanding of the fundamental concepts in astrophysics such as gravity, the nature of light, the physical characteristics of matter, and the motions of astronomical objects in the night sky;
• demonstrate proficiency in each of the major areas of astronomy cosmology, galaxies, accretion and compact objects, the life cycle, and properties of stars and solar system science;
• show a working knowledge of a broad array of astrophysical phenomena that are based upon fundamental concepts; and
• gain familiarity with astronomical observations, instrumentation, computational methods, and software.

The Bachelor of Arts with a major in astronomy requires a minimum of 120 s.h., including at least 49 s.h. of work for the major. The B.A. program requires fewer physics and mathematics courses than the B.S. program does, giving students a wider choice of electives.

The program is designed for students who wish to build considerable knowledge in astronomy but do not plan a research-oriented career in the field. It is appropriate for students planning careers in secondary school science teaching or science-related administration.

Astronomy graduates have mastered skills that are readily transferable to a number of fields. They might choose to work in research, engineering, software development, teaching, finance, biomedical research, or consulting. Some graduates plan for careers in secondary school science teaching or science-related administration or plan to earn professional degrees.
