San Diego State University stands out in The California State University system with distinctive features: it hosts the sole independent astronomy department and manages a research observatory on Mount Laguna, just a brief drive from San Diego. Our faculty teach astronomy courses ranging from introductory overviews of the universe for general interest students to specialized classes for those majoring in Astronomy or Physics.
At SDSU, students can pursue two bachelor's degrees with an astronomy focus: the B.A. in Liberal Arts and Sciences or the B.S. in Applied Arts and Sciences. Both programs emphasize astronomy, physics, and mathematics, but differ in requirements. The B.A. includes foreign language proficiency, while the B.S. involves more advanced coursework in astronomy and related fields. Below are links detailing the curriculum for these degrees and the astronomy minor:
