The Astronomy Minor

The Astronomy minor consists of 22 credits. At graduation, Astronomy minors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor. The calculation is based on the grades of all courses presented for the minor. Only the most recent grade is considered for courses that have been repeated. Only the first course required for the minor taken at Allegheny (usually PHYS 121) may be taken on a Credit/No Credit basis. A maximum of 12 transfer credits may be counted toward the minor, exceptions must be approved by the department chair.
