About the course

Astronomy is considered a subfield of physics, and the coursework of a dual astronomy and physics degree reflects this with heavy emphasis on both disciplines as well as classes focused on important math concepts.

　　Astronomers observe and collect data used to explain relationships between stars and planets, as well as other phenomena occurring in the universe. In conjunction with other types of physicists, you might be called upon to solve problems connected with space flight navigation and satellite communications. Astronomers account for about seven percent of physicist jobs tracked by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
