Develop scientific reasoning and quantitative problem-solving skills that transfer across a wide range of careers. This astronomy minor trains you to analyze evidence, work through complex problems and think critically, strengths that stay valuable in nearly any field you pursue.
Build spaceflight hardware, make observations, discover planets and engineer new instruments for telescopes and satellites. This astrophysics minor puts you to work right beside students and faculty doing exactly that kind of hands-on science.
Build a solid foundation in field-based geologic skills that strengthens your prospects for geology-related careers, internships or graduate school. Along the way, learn to produce professional geologic maps and interpretive technical reports.
Discover more about Earth's present, past and future and add genuine Earth-science depth to your own major. Apply novel analysis techniques to Earth materials and learn directly from faculty members who lead NASA- and NSF-funded research.
Study alongside faculty who lead NASA planetary missions and the instruments behind them, and earn a certificate grounded in real space exploration. Turn your fascination with other worlds into rigorous, hands-on expertise in planetary science.
Study water where it matters most, the arid Southwest, alongside faculty tackling real water challenges. Because these irreplaceable resources are strained by population growth and climate change, their management is increasingly in demand from many perspectives.
