天文学哲学博士

该系提供研究生课程，授予天文学博士学位。当前的研究为光学观测天文学以及计算理论提供了机会。准研究生必须在研究生成绩考试（GRE）中提交分数。从整体上考虑申请，入学没有最低分数要求。不需要物理GRE分数，请不要向我们发送物理GRE分数，因为它们不会在审核过程中被考虑。在与部门教职员工协商后，学生建立了天文学及其他相关领域的个性化课程。大学要求获得学士学位的学生总共需要36个小时的课程工作，而获得硕士学位的学生需要18个小时的课程。这些要求可以通过各种讲座课程和有监督的研究来满足。

The student is required to pass a general qualifying examination in astronomy, usually taken at the end of the second year. The student must then prepare a dissertation based on the results of independent research. A PhD candidate must also satisfy the general requirements of the School of Graduate Studies.Full-time graduate students who maintain satisfactory academic performance while pursuing the PhD degree in astronomy normally receive a stipend for teaching and/or research, which includes full tuition and a monthly amount sufficient to cover living expenses.
