Astronomy
If starry nights inspire fascination, astronomy is your opportunity to explore and learn the science of the cosmos. Stargazing is just the start; through the study of celestial objects and processes, astronomers draw on math, physics, chemistry, and other disciplines.
Occupations
Government and the private sector are investing heavily in space exploration, fueling double-digit growth in the aerospace sector. Studying astronomy can also lead to careers in research and education. More broadly, their mathematical and scientific know-how give astronomers a launchpad from which to embark on a wide array of potential careers.
