Over the past decade the UMBC Physics Department has been offering a growing number of astronomy-related courses at variety of levels.

Undergraduate courses range from 100-level ("GRE-qualifying") classes for non-science majors, to 300/400-level courses some of which can be taken as a single elective, or combined to form an Astronomy Minor.

Graduate students planning a career in Astronomy/Astrophysics are required to take our two graduate-level courses, and strongly encouraged to take any 400-level courses required to fill in gaps in their knowledge.
