thereof, in their chosen emphasis. Students must complete all
required courses for a minimum of 18-24 units.
ASTRONOMY

Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this pro-
gram, students will be able to identify, compare and contrast
physical properties of astronomical objects; visualize the general
structure and scale of the universe and our place within it; locate,
identify and contrast prominent astronomical objects in the
night sky; identify and comprehend the purpose of elementary
equations used in astronomy and describe the functions; use of
basic astronomical tools.
