This looks like a new class. I think it’s intended for non-science majors or just people who want to learn more about astro without having to major in it. It’s probably comparable to the spring-semester course AST 203 (aka Stars for Stoners) in terms of difficult (which means it isn’t that hard, compared to other classes). Personally, I am taking AST 255 this fall, and as far as I remember, there aren’t any hefty pre-reqs for this course. But, I’ve heard it’s supposed to be a more fascinating course overall, if nothing else.
