General requirements
Good preparation for graduate work in astronomy or astrophysics requires the same training in physics and mathematics needed for a bachelor’s degree in physics, plus a familiarity with the subject matter of introductory astronomy or astrophysics courses. An undergraduate major in astronomy, astrophysics, physics, or mathematics that has provided such a background is usually required for admission. Any necessary undergraduate courses that are taken to strengthen a student’s background will not receive graduate credit.
