Courses - Fall '09  |  Course Website

<  1  2  >

Designed for astronomy majors. All are welcome, no matter what your chosen major is. However, our discussions will assume that astronomy is of keen interest to you, and that you are curious about the various aspects of astronomy research. But not to worry: we do understand that most of you are just beginning your academic exploration of astronomy, and the discussions will not assume graduate-student knowledge of the field.

Preliminary Course Schedule
