<p>Astronomy at Chicago as an undergrad:</p>
<p>"Starting in 1999-2000, there will be a specialization in astronomy available as part of the physics major.</p>
<p>For students considering graduate work in astrophysics, the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics recommends the program leading to a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Physics with Specialization in Astrophysics. In addition to all of the courses required for a B.A. in Physics, this degree requires that the student take the sequence Astron. 241-242 plus a third course (Astron. 280 or Astron. 305) in the third or fourth year. In place of the third course the student may elect to write a Bachelors Thesis in some area of astrophysics, with the topic approved in advance by the Physics Concentration Chair in consultation with the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics. Under this thesis option, the student would take Physics 291-292-293 in the fourth year. A student who meets the requirements for honors as set by the Department of Physics could receive an honors degree under this option."</p>
