Paul’s Answer

Hi Vish!

According to Nasa, at this time there are very few dedicated degree programs in astrobiology. The typical pathway for a student interested in pursuing astrobiology graduate studies is to specialize in a single scientific discipline. You should choose a field that really excites you. This discipline will be the base of knowledge that you will build upon, so make it one you are passionate about.

Paul recommends the following next steps:

You need at least a bachelor's degree. But, students should think about getting degrees in chemistry, geology, and astronomy or similar fields. Don't forget about mathematics
