Having a room like the planetarium to teach in creates a wonderful learning environment. The students come in excited and ready to learn. 房间有助于培养这种能力.

- 教师
He doesn't just study the sky. 他坐着它飞. Dr. Kent 蒙哥马利 is a certified pilot and trained physicist who brings his love of the universe to A&移动商务. He's known for his archeoastronomy course, where students learn how ancient civilizations followed the moon and the stars. 在课程结束时, he journeys with them to Chaco Canyon, where artificial light is void and the night shines with brilliance. But 蒙哥马利 doesn't stop there. 他也选了A&移动商务 students to Europe. We'll just have to wait and see where his next adventure will be.
与医生的对话. 蒙哥马利
A是什么&移动商务的独特?
In the Department of 物理学与天文学, upper-level undergraduate students are encouraged to do research, which is only reserved for graduate students in many schools.
Why would you encourage a student to attend A&移动商务?
我觉得A&移动商务 is an excellent place to start your educational career. The school is just the right size so that the faculty still directly interact with the undergraduates and are truly interested in their success but not too small that you only have limited programs.
Tell us about a project you are working on or have completed.
I built my own airplane, which has been flying since 2011. It took me eight years to complete, but it was my favorite and most-challenging project.
