    Master Programs in Astronomy

    Astronomy includes both the theory and observation of celestial objects in the sky. Studies may require physics courses and some programs may teach students how to use telescopes, star charts, and special computer software. A student interested in using creative thinking and problem-solving may enjoy studying this topic.

    Europe is, by convention, one of the world's seven continents. Comprising the western most point of Eurasia, Europe is usually divided from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas, and the waterways connecting the Black and Aegean Seas.

    Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
    Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
