The Astronomy Department offers two undergraduate laboratory courses, optical and radio astronomy, intended for astronomy majors and prospective astronomy majors and physics, engineering, and geophysics majors. The curricula are rigorous, but less structured than traditional lab courses, requiring extra effort and commitment from the professor and resulting in very close contact between teacher and student. This environment is stimulating to the students and encourages more students to pursue a science major. The department is adding a third laboratory course, in infrared astronomy, and is expanding and improving its facilities to accommodate more students.

天文学系提供光学和射电天文学两个本科实验课程，面向天文学专业和未来天文学专业以及物理、工程和地球物理专业的学生。课程严谨，但结构不如传统的实验课程，需要教授额外的努力和承诺，并导致教师和学生之间的联系非常密切。这种环境对学生来说很刺激，鼓励更多的学生选择科学专业。 该系正在增加第三个实验室课程，即红外天文学，并正在扩大和改善其设施以容纳更多的学生。
