Astrophysics, Minor
The University of Denver's minor in astrophysics is for students interested in pursuing graduate work and careers in astronomy, as well as for students interested in learning more about the topic. Subjects include stars, planets and galaxies, and the program will give you a background in both the theoretical science behind astronomy and the methods used in the field.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Denver operates two observatories:
- Mt. Evans Meyer-Womble, the second highest observatory in the world
- the late 19th century Chamberlin Observatory, which features a historic 20-inch refractor
As any career in astronomy will require a strong working knowledge of physics, this minor is an excellent one for physics majors looking to diversify their education, or for students with an interest in astronomy but less desire to pursue a traditional physics degree.
