9 courses with the subject ASTR, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ASTR 101Introduction to Astronomy I: The Solar System3
ASTR 102Introduction to Astronomy II: Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmology3
Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0 A course designed to provide students with a follow-up examination of astronomy, reinforcing a theoretical and practical understanding of the scientific process and an enthusiasm for its utilization in the solution of relevant challenges that they may expect to face in their own lives. Relevant scientific principles will be utilized throughout the course, including mechanics and the nature of light. Coverage will include the sun; stellar observables; star birth, evolution, and death; novae and supernovae; white dwarfs; neutron stars; black holes; the Milky Way galaxy; normal galaxies; active galaxies and quasars; dark matter; dark energy; cosmology; the early universe; the possible multiverse; and the prospects for the existence of life elsewhere in the universe.
An introductory course in the science of astronomy, with emphasis on the investigation of nearby space – the sun, moon, and planets - and with laboratory exercises illustrating the scientific methods and techniques used in gathering information about the planets, moons, and other objects in the Solar System.
Lecture Hours: 2 Lab Hours: 2 This course trains students in the operation of a research grade telescope for data acquisition. Data reduction methods will be utilized to provide an adequate signal to noise ratio required to support a variety of research topics. Using data collected during class or from other repositories, the student will research a relatively narrow topic in astronomy and present the topic through oral and poster presentations. Experience with computer programming is recommended. 680
