<p>My friend took a course with Prof. Herbst and loved it.</p>
<p>How hard is it for non-science majors to get into science courses- epecially astronomy? Aren't there like three telescopes?</p>
<p>beachluver: It's not that hard for astro, especially at the intro and intermediary levels, as there aren’t that many majors. The intro astro classes, especially, are taken by a lot of non-majors to fill NSM requirements, because while they are serious classes, they aren’t pre-med weed out classes like intro bio and intro chem.</p>
<p>It's also not hard to get into intro and intermediate sceince classes in other subjects, but if they are pre-med requirments, they tend to be more work than an non-major wants to put up with.</p>
<p>thanks wes kid. i just read an article about some astronomy discoveries from wes professors on the wes website and it sounded cool</p>
