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 Science with a major in astronomy requires a minimum of 120 s.h., including at least 63 s.h. of work for the major. The program provides balanced and integrated course work in astronomy, mathematics, and physics that prepares students for advanced study in astronomy or astrophysics. It also serves as an interesting choice of major for a liberal arts education.

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.

About 70 percent of physics and astronomy graduates go on to graduate school. With help from the department’s in-house recruiting office, they win acceptance to some of the best graduate programs in the country.
