Astronomy - Minor
Astronomy is not only one of the oldest sciences, but also one of the
most active in terms of exciting and ground breaking new discoveries.
Astronomy, together with its cognate sciences Astrophysics and
Cosmology, is concerned with the discovery and understanding of
celestial objects ranging from asteroids and comets to planets, stars,
galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the evolution of the universe on the
largest scales.
A Minor in Astronomy will introduce you to all
the interesting fields of astronomical inquiry and provide you with
hands on experience with telescopes and advanced imaging devices.
If
you would like to pursue graduate studies in astronomy, you should take
the B.Sc. (Honours) degree in Physics with a Specialization in
Astronomy.
Please contact Stan Shadick (stan.shadick@usask.ca)
or Rainer Dick (rainer.dick@usask.ca) if you have any questions
regarding the Astronomy program options.
