Astronomy Minor Requirements
Minors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are constructed with the following basic requirements: 18 hours in the minor field, with 12 of those hours required to be at a junior/senior level. The specific requirements for the astronomy minor follow:
Required Courses | Hours | |
PHSX 211 and PHSX 216 (or PHSX 213) | General Physics I/lab | 5 |
PHSX 212 and PHSX 236 (or PHSX 214) | General Physics II/lab | 4 |
PHSX 313 | General Physics III | 3 |
PHSX 316 | Intermediate Physics Laboratory | 1 |
Astronomy and related field electives at the jr/sr level | 8 or more |
Students are strongly advised to take Astronomy 391 as their introductory course in astronomy; if students have already taken Astronomy 191 as an introductory astronomy course, they should inquire about taking 3 credit hours of Astronomy 390 instead. Be aware that Astronomy 591 and 592 are only taught in alternate years (Fall odd / Spring even) semesters.
