-Welcome to the Berkeley Astronomy Undergraduate Wiki! This site is run by the undergraduate community of astrophysics ​majors here at Cal, who you can find in the [[directory:​index|Directory]]. The Wiki is designed to be a resource for current undergraduates,​ incoming ​freshman ​considering an astro major, and prospective ​high school ​students who want to learn more in more detail ​what being an astro major here is all about. While the amount of information present on the Wiki can seem intimidating,​ we have attempted to organize it and summarize it as best as we know how. In particular, there is a Curriculum page which summarizes the classes in the astro major, with descriptions and even some professor reviews. There is also a page dedicated to the important but daunting task of finding research. Please feel free to explore all the Wiki has to offer, and feel free to get in touch with some of the students if you have any other questions!+Welcome to the Berkeley Astronomy Undergraduate Wiki!
