The Faculty of Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico was founded with seven scientific careers, and the astronomer and physicists majors were two of them. But because of the subjects in each of these careers were almost the same, both of them were established just as a Physics in 1967 (considering Astronomy as an specialty). This was justified because in the Astronomy career were no graduated students at that time. In fact the students interested in Astronomy field finished the mayor in Physics and then elaborate a thesis work in Astronomy from their final dissertation

Keywords : History of physics and astronomy; curricula; physics and astronomy professions.
