天文学是对宇宙及其内部所有物体的研究。它检查了宇宙，恒星和行星的起源以及它们在空间中如何移动和演化。天文学专业可作为理学学士（BS）或文学学士（BA）获得。贝勒研究与创新合作组织（BRIC）是位于校园附近的研究园区，对我们的本科生来说是一个巨大的资源。金砖四国为研究人员，行业/商业客户以及地区机构和组织提供了超过30万平方英尺的空间，这些空间的设计和指定用途是：实验室，原型制作和测试，办公室，工作区和员工培训。许多数学和自然科学专业的学生都可以在此设施中亲身体验。
Astronomy is the study of the universe and all the bodies within it. It examines origins of the universe, stars and planets as well as how they move and evolve in space. Since scientists are rarely able to physically examine many objects in space, astronomy is mostly an observational science. Math, physics, chemistry and geology contribute to astronomy and help inform our understanding of the universe. Astronomy also relies on a variety of instruments, tools, and computer software for analysis and gathering data. Available courses include:<br>Mathematical and Computational Physics<br>Intermediate Classical Mechanics<br>Observational Astronomy<br>Introduction to Stellar Structure and Evolution<br>Introduction to Modern Cosmology<br>The Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative (BRIC) is a research park located near campus and is a tremendous resource for our undergraduate students. The BRIC provides researchers, industry/business clients and area institutions and organizations with more than 300,000 square feet of space designed and appointed for: laboratories, prototyping and testing, offices and workspace and workforce training. Many math and science undergraduate students are able to have hands-on experiences in this facility.
