Astronomy

AS

The curriculum in the Astronomy Associate of Science degree program is designed to provide the transfer student the opportunity to achieve a degree in Astronomy. While a baccalaureate or higher degree is recommended for those considering majors related to this field, earning the associate degree may support attempts to gain entry-level employment or promotion within research universities, aerospace and national observatories. Examples of such positions are technicians at observatories and planetariums and companies making telescopes and astronomical equipment.
