A general physics major or a specific physics major?

<p>There exist undergraduate majors in astrophysics:
[General</a> Catalog - Astronomy](<a href=“http://general-catalog.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_view_req?p_dept_cd=ASTRON]General”>http://general-catalog.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_view_req?p_dept_cd=ASTRON)
[Undergraduate</a> Goals, Berkeley Astronomy Department](<a href=“http://astro.berkeley.edu/academics/undergraduate/goals.html]Undergraduate”>http://astro.berkeley.edu/academics/undergraduate/goals.html)
Note that double majoring with physics, or at least taking several advanced physics courses, is encouraged for those intending astrophysics graduate work.</p>

<p>However, majoring in physics with astronomy electives as available should be just fine for the same purpose.</p>
