Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Chicago (USA)

The grand narrative of astronomy holds wide popular appeal and lends itself to interdisciplinary study: there is a deep history and cultural context, the night sky is profoundly inspiring and accessible to everyone, and the spirit of exploration is communicated in daily media reports of new discoveries. The minor in Astronomy and Astrophysics was designed for students not majoring in the sciences to cultivate understanding of science as a human endeavor across multiple social, historical, and cultural contexts, and to develop comprehension of the quantitative reasoning that supports a deep conceptual understanding of science.For students considering graduate work in astrophysics, the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics recommends the major program in Astrophysics, with both BA and BS tracks.
