What are schooling options for someone looking to go into astrophysics?

I'm looking into a bachelor of science in physics and my doctorate in astronomy, but i was wondering if that's the best way to go.. and what colleges would offer me those degrees? i'm still in high school and looking ar all of my options so i'm pretty much open to anything.|||Pretty much every school has a physics major, and offers the classes you'd want to take in math, astronomy, and computer science. The important thing is to go to a school that gives you opportunities to do undergraduate research. So while it's tempting to apply to all the top grad schools for undergrad, some of those have so many grad students that undergrads have trouble getting chances to do research or work with professors. So consider liberal arts colleges as well; some of them have a lot of astronomers and physicists on staff. And check out your local state universities as well; it's cheaper and many of them are excellent.
