About the course

The Astronomy Department at NMSU offers programs leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Graduate courses cover topics in astrophysics, stellar atmospheres, observational techniques, the interstellar medium, galactic structure, star formation and evolution, extragalactic objects, cosmology, and solar system studies. Students also take courses in other relevant fields to broaden their knowledge and capabilities. Upon successful completion of the written and oral portions of the PhD comprehensive exam, it is the intention of the department that a student be awarded an M.S. degree in Astronomy. Other students may elect to pursue a Terminal Master's degree rather than a Ph.D. upon the advice of their committee. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
