I say this because my experience with astronomy grad students at a major university is that their biggest weakness is the lack of a really solid physics background, and your son will also have many more options if he majors in physics instead of limiting himself to schools that have an astrophysics major.



spdf, thank you. That was eye-opening to read. I wanted to pull it out for prime attention to the OP, since it widens their range of considerations right now on viewing the Physics v. Astrophysics undergrad major. Again, thanks.
