ASTR 110: Stars & Galaxies
An introduction to our modern understanding of the universe. Topics studied will include the interaction between light and matter, the formation, structure and evolution of stars, and galaxy kinematics and morphology. The course will also explore our understanding of the universe as a whole, from its origin to present structure, to possible fates.
-
ASTR 111: Stars & Galaxies Laboratory
A laboratory experience to complement the material covered in ASTR 110. Labs activities will include spectroscopy, Kepler鈥檚 Laws, and analyzing and interpreting data on stars, galaxies, and the universe.
-
ASTR 472: Undergrad Research Astronomy
Designed to introduce the student to research techniques in astronomy. With faculty supervision, each student will complete a significant project which requires originality and broadens knowledge.
-
PHYS 341: Seminar in Physics
Presentations are made by students enrolled, faculty members, and invited guests. Each student is expected to attend each scheduled meeting and to make at least one oral presentation on a topic approved by the instructor. Students must also write critiques of presentations.

PHYS 472: Undergraduate Research
Designed to introduce the student to research techniques in physics, astronomy, or engineering. With faculty supervision, each student will complete a significant project which requires originality and broadens knowledge.
-
PHYS 484: Astrophysical Techniques
This laboratory-style class will be an introduction to techniques used to gather and process astronomical data. Students will learn how to plan and carry out observing runs, possibly using the campus observatory. Students will learn to reduce and analyze photometric and spectroscopic data using software packages such as IRAF, and IDL. Data mining techniques, used to access the vast array of publicly available astronomical images will also be covered. The course will culminate with a final project, where students will write a proposal, gather raw astronomical data, and see the analysis through to its completion. Final presentations will be made on the results of this project.
