Roughly half of the coursework in Pre-MAP will be spent working on a research project in a very small group with mentors from the Astronomy Department, such as graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, or faculty advisors. The research projects typically advance the research goals of your mentor, and so the projects that we offer cover a variety of topics and size-scales from stars to galaxies.
Students can select their top three project choices, and we will sort you into groups among your top choices. Read about the projects below, and follow the links to learn about your potential advisors.
