About the course

The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Astronomy provides a rigorous physical sciences program for those with an interest in astronomy. The strong math, physics and astronomy background of this program will prepare students wanting to pursue graduate school. Moreover, the problem solving, data analysis, scientific communication, physical reasoning, and computational skills developed during the program provides preparation for careers in a wide range of STEM-related professional fields.

　　WSU has a well-established planetarium, on-site roof-top observatory and a new remote observatory stationed in New Mexico. Our faculty members teach a wide range of physics and astronomy courses and many conduct research in astrophysics or the ly related fields of nuclear and particle physics.

　　There is great demand for scientifically educated college graduates in government, education, law, and industry and these graduates must be familiar with the pre-eminent scientific activities of our time, many of which are in the field of astronomy. The discovery of the dark side of the universe has fired up public interest in astronomy. The quest to understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy, in particular, are likely to have immense consequences for the technological world of the future.
