===== UC Berkeley Astronomy Undergraduate Wiki ===== 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 freshmen considering an Astro major, and prospective students who want to learn more about what being an Astro major here is all about. 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! //**To access the information in this wiki, you can use the navigation panel to the left, explore the links below, or use the search bar above.**// * [[curriculum:index|Curriculum Overview]] - A fairly comprehensive overview of the major, geared toward incoming or prospective students. * [[doublemajor:index|Major/Minor Info]] -Information about the majoring, double majoring, and minoring opportunities you have as an astro student. *[[directory:index|Directory]] - Bio and contact information for the contributors to this wiki- many are open to being asked questions! *[[code:index|Code Repository]] - A place for Astro majors to store and share useful codes found or written, pertaining to Astro research *[[research:index|Undergraduate Research]] - A current list of available research positions, as well as advice on how to go about picking, applying for, and doing research in the Astro Department at Cal. * [[jobs:index|Employment Opportunities]] - A brief description of paying jobs students can obtain through the Astronomy (or Physics) department. * [[community:index|The Astro Community]] - Information about astro-related clubs, colloquia, and other departmental community spaces/activities. * [[grad:index|Graduate School]] - Advice from now departed undergraduates on applying to and (ideally) getting into graduate school in astronomy. * [[summer:index|Summer Opportunities]] - Information about astro-related summer opportunities, including research and subject-specific summer schools. * [[kartp:index|Why Kartp?]] - Why do we call this wiki Kartp?
