Introduction

The Department of Astronomy (AST) offers courses toward the B.S. degree in astronomy and astrophysics as well as 100-level courses for non-astronomy majors. This degree program is designed to prepare students for graduate study and a subsequent career in astronomy and astrophysics. The program also serves the needs of students preparing for careers in related technical fields. Students enrolled in this program use the telescopes at the campus observatories, the Morgan-Monroe State Forest Observatory, and the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO Observatory. Students also use the extensive computing facilities in Swain Hall.
