<p>Reading Fiske’s 2012 Guide to Colleges, astronomy is listed at the top in the “Strongest Programs” section for GWU, but the actual passage doesn’t really mention it. Can anyone shed any light on the quality of their astronomy program? Thanks.</p>
<p>Interesting…I’ve never heard of this. In fact, I’ve never heard of anyone mentioning or majoring astronomy here. Because of the unpopularity, I would assume that it’s not THAT strong here? GWU’s strong in international relations, and it’s evident through the profs that teach there.</p>
<p>I have only heard of business majors and international affairs majors with the occasional pre-medical STEM major but when you’re paying that much for school most people want to do something that can get them a job directly after their BA or BS so IDK about Astronomy being a good bet at GWU.</p>
<p>never really heard of it being popular (but it’s not really a popular major in general…)</p>
