天文学或天文学与天体物理学学士学位（代托纳比奇校园）

代托纳比奇校园的天文学和天体物理学学士学位在数学和物理学方面拥有坚实的基础。该计划位于文理学院的物理科学系中，是东南天文学研究协会（SARA）的成员，并已被其理事会任命为该财团的主要管理机构。该系的观测设施包括一台仪器化的1米望远镜（美国东南部最大的大学研究望远镜）。该程序的实验室组件中使用了该技术和其他高质量技术。两台新的光谱仪由1米望远镜提供的光线馈电，使学生能够确定温度，成分，旋转速率以及恒星，行星，星云和河外物体的速度。
Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects such as planets, stars, galaxies, and the Universe as a whole. In practice, Astronomy is mostly about using remote observations of celestial objects to understand how those objects work. <br>At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, students in the Bachelor of Science in Astronomy and Astrophysics program are prepared to enter a broad variety of industrial and basic science applications, as well as graduate programs in related fields. Students will use a combination of physics and astronomy classroom courses, along with hands-on laboratory courses, to understand and explore the Universe.<br>The B.S. in Astronomy & Astrophysics at the Daytona Beach Campus has a strong fundamental basis in mathematics and physics. Housed in the Department of Physical Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences, the program is a member of the Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA) and has been appointed the consortium's lead administrative institution by its Board of Directors. The Department's observatory facilities include an instrumented 1-meter telescope (the largest university research telescope in the southeastern U.S.). This and other high-caliber technologies are used in the laboratory components of the program. Two new spectrographs, fed by light from the 1-meter telescope, enable students to determine the temperatures, compositions, rotation rates, and speeds of stars, planets, nebulae and extragalactic objects.
