Area F Guidelines: Astronomy
Area F for Astronomy majors consists of 18 hours of lower-division (1000- and 2000-level) courses related to the Astronomy major and/or prerequisite to courses required in the major:
| Calculus-based Physics I, II | 8 hours |
| Calculus II (excess from Area A or D)* | 0-1 hour |
| Calculus II (excess from Area D) | 1-4 hours |
| Calculus III | 3-4 hours |
| Additional hour(s) in astronomy, mathematics, computer science or chemistry (for science majors)** |
1-4 hours |
| Total | 18 hours |
* If Calculus I is not taken in Area A or D, it must be taken in Area F, in which case up to two hours of Calculus III must be included in the 60 hours in the major program and no additional hours would be required in Area F.
** Excess hours from courses must be included in the 60 hours in the major program.
