天体物理学理学学士

因为所有的现代天文学家都是物理学家，所以没有单独提供天文学的本科学位的课程。取而代之的是，该系提供了三个天体物理学课程，分别是专业，荣誉和副修。天体物理学专业课程是为那些希望在现代物理学和天文学方面打下坚实基础，但并不一定要在学士学位以外继续学习的人而设计的。天体物理学荣誉计划是为打算继续读研究生的人设计的，涉及在其四年级的老师指导下准备荣誉论文（PHYS 4790）。如下所列，这两个课程在第二年之前都是相同的，这意味着学生直到第三年学习才需要参加荣誉课程。还请注意，如所列，这些程序符合第3节中概述的理科
Discover the scientific study of the universe beyond the Earth. Astrophysics deals primarily with the behaviours physical properties and dynamic processes of celestial objects and phenomena. Astrophysicists draw on physics and mathematics to study planets stars black holes galaxies even the evolution of the universe itself.Saint Marys is a leader in astrophysics research and the only place you can study astrophysics east of Montreal.
