What high school courses are required to enter a university Astrophysics program?

Just planning ahead =]|||Math, physics, chemistry, computer science, and English. There really aren't any jobs in astrophysics if you don't have a PhD in the subject, and if you want to get a PhD you should be majoring in physics, not astrophysics or astronomy - physics is essential for graduate school in astrophysics, and astrophysics and astronomy majors typically don't give you as much physics as you need. In college, study physics and take courses in astronomy, math, and computer science. Spend your summers doing REU (research experience for undergraduates) programs to make sure this is really what you want to study and to prepare for grad school.|||Well thats good that your planning ahead. You may want to talk to your guidance counselor about that. They can tell you the specific classes that you can take to enter the astrophysics program. Good Luck :)|||Calculus
