天文学和天体物理学理学学士（普雷斯科特校区）

天文学是对天体（例如行星，恒星，星系和整个宇宙）的科学研究。实际上，天文学主要是关于使用天体的远程观测来了解这些天体如何工作的。<br>在Embry-Riddle航空大学，攻读天文学理学学士学位课程的学生已准备好进入广泛的工业和基础科学应用程序以及相关领域的研究生课程。学生将结合物理和天文学教室课程以及动手实验课程，来了解和探索宇宙。<br>作为少数几个拥有天文学计划的小型私人机构之一，ERAU为学生提供了很多优势其中包括与哈勃太空望远镜等主要资源的教师联系，以及由美国国家航空航天局和美国国家科学基金会赞
Astronomy is unlike most sciences. We cant bring celestial objects such as planets, stars, and galaxies into a laboratory. Instead, we use a clever combination of astronomical observations, physics principles, computer analysis and the human mind to understand how these distant objects work.<br><br>At EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University, students in the Bachelor of Science in Astronomy program use a combination of physics and astronomy classroom courses, along with hands-on laboratory courses, to understand and explore the Universe. Graduates are prepared to enter a variety of industrial and basic science applications, as well as graduate programs in related fields. <br><br>As one of only a few small, private institutions with an Astronomy program, EmbryRiddle offers plenty of advantages, including faculty ties to major resources, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, and major research programs sponsored by NASA and the National Science Foundation. Students also frequently work one-on-one with faculty on research projects and activities.
