天文学学士学位

天文学学士学位是为那些希望在天文学，数学和物理学领域拥有广泛背景但不打算在天体物理学领域从事研究生工作的学生而设计的。在广阔的背景下，学生在许多领域都做好了充分的准备，包括天文馆和博物馆工作，在高等学校教授天文学，中学教育，科学写作，或者事实上，在许多具有学习能力的专业中危急。物理系为对物理学和相关科学具有浓厚兴趣的学生提供了热衷于通过课程，研究机会和个人互动来促进其成长的教师。可以轻松地量身定制基础物理和应用物理的教育计划，以满足学生的个人兴趣和需求。Lehigh提供以下物理学，天体物理学和天文学本科学
The bachelor of arts degree in astronomy is intended for students who desire a broad background in astronomy, mathematics and physics but do not plan to do graduate work in astrophysics. With this broad background, the student is well prepared in many fields of endeavor, including planetarium and museum work, teaching astronomy at colleges and universities, secondary education, science writing, or, in fact, in many professions in which the ability to learn is critical. The Department of Physics provides students with strong interests in physics and related sciences with faculty keenly interested in fostering their growth through courses, research opportunities, and individual interactions. Educational programs in basic and applied physics can be tailored easily to suit a student's individual interests and needs. Lehigh offers the following undergraduate degrees in physics, astrophysics, and astronomy: the Bachelor of Science in Physics, the Bachelor of Arts with a major in Physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, the Bachelor of Arts with a major in Astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Bachelor of Science in Astrophysics. The first three of these share a common core of physics and mathematics courses, students can defer choosing from among them until after the first year, and changes can be made rather easily even later.
