What does majoring in Astrophysics entail (what would I learn and what general courses would I take)?

And how is the job prospect for graduates?





I was thinking about majoring in Astrophysics; the universe is just so interesting to me.|||It involves a scary amount of math. Get a book on advanced astrophysics from the library and see what's involved. I've had the rare privilege of meeting Prof Stephen Hawking and the contents of the blackboard in his office was pure ∫∫alphabetti spaghetti to a lay person. As for job prospects it's probably going to depend a lot on research grants at the appropriate academic establishments.
