The first-year and sophomore program includes a combined concentration in astronomy, physics, and mathematics. Most professional positions in astronomy and astrophysics generally require study leading to the Ph.D. degree. Opportunities include research positions in observatories, often in conjunction with university teaching, and scientific positions in government agencies and industry.
A student must be comfortable with and enjoy mathematics to pursue astronomy as the field relies heavily on deductive and analytical reasoning. An incoming student should have completed four years of math through pre-calculus in high school. A physics course in high school is helpful but not required.
The Physics and Astronomy Department faculty research interests include astronomy, astrophysics, atomic physics, mathematical physics, nuclear physics, and particle physics.
The Bachelor of Science degree requires a minimum of 51 credit hours in astronomy and physics courses in a program to be developed by the student and the adviser and approved by the department. The upper division program concentrates on astrophysics with courses in such areas as mechanics, electromagnetic theory, and astrophysics.
