Part time PhD Programs in Astronomy
Astronomy includes both the theory and observation of celestial objects in the sky. Studies may require physics courses and some programs may teach students how to use telescopes, star charts, and special computer software. A student interested in using creative thinking and problem-solving may enjoy studying this topic.
The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
