Astronomy Minor

Completion of a minimum of 20 units in astronomy and physical or life science courses, at least 12 of which must be in astronomy, constitutes a minor in astronomy. Courses that are used to meet core requirements in a student’s major may not be used toward the minor in astronomy. Required supporting courses for the major may be used. Interested students should consult with an academic advisor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
