Astronomy Department

Students completing this certificate have received basic knowledge about the properties of stars and planets as well as insight in the physical principles underlying galaxy, star, and planet formation and evolution. In addition, students will have gained some quantitative understanding of measurement techniques involved in the study of these systems.

This knowledge not only provides the first foundation for continued study in astronomy or in the broad and expanding field of environmental sciences, but it will also facilitate paraprofessional employment in the form of research internships with various city, county, state, and private agencies.
