JAXA may drop science degree from astronaut requirements : The Asahi Shimbun

JAXA is considering scrapping its mandate that prospective astronauts have college degrees in science to find the right people for increasingly diverse missions. “Many university graduates with non-science degrees are also working as airline pilots, system engineers and computer programmers,” said Kazuyoshi Kawasaki, who heads the Management and Integration Department at JAXA’s Human Spaceflight Technology Directorate. We want to ease the requirement of academic qualifications and offer people with various backgrounds a chance to become astronauts.”
