Astronomy Department Faculty
Standard Majors and Minor
Whitman has an Astronomy major and standard combined majors in
Physics-Astronomy and Astronomy-Geology.
There is also an Astronomy Minor.
Students interested in graduate work in astronomy are encouraged to major in physics with an astronomy minor, or in Physics-Astronomy since most graduate schools look for some equivalent of an undergraduate degree in physics.
Some students with other interests have also designed combined majors such as
Astronomy-Mathematics.
For more details about major and minor requirements, look at the
college catalog. For details about student learning goals for Astronomy, click here.
