  12. College • The "minimum degree requirement" for an astronaut is a bachelor's from an accredited institution. Three years of related increasingly responsible professional experience must follow that degree. • Many schools offer degrees in technical fields, math, and science. Check with a guidance/college counselor or a good college directory. • Do the very best that you possibly can. You will need the grades to graduate into a good Master of Science program. • Center your curriculum around science and the technologies. There are many degree options. • To communicate, both written and verbally, is also vital to working in the Space program. To know history is important to success. “not only as an astronaut but as a citizen.” • Be bilingual.
