To this end, the FSU physics department is implementing a comprehensive new curriculum in astrophysics at both the undergraduate and graduate level. In addition to the new astrophysics course offerings, we have added an astrophys… text/html 2011-05-03T18:09:53-04:00 gerardy http://astrophysics.physics.fsu.edu/astrowiki/doku.php?id=undergraduate_major&rev=1304460593&do=diff The Physics and Astrophysics major was established in the physics department in Spring 2009. The major is designed primarily for students interested in pursuing a career in astronomy/astrophysics research. The curriculum is a rigorous physics degree, augmented by astrophysics courses intended to provide a background in the broad range of phenomena and physics unique to astronomy. Since its introduction, the major has proven quite popular, with 28 majors enrolled as of Spring 2011.
