The undergraduate major not only imparts knowledge about a discipline; it also trains students in the practice of that field.  Astrophysics---like all sciences---evolves, and the skills that a student of astrophysics is expected to acquire therefore also evolve. Numerical software has made tables of integrals gather dust; data analysis and CCD detectors have replaced visual scanning of photographic plates.  Further, although  the majority of astrophysics majors do not become professional astronomers; astronomers,  they do, however, do  find employment in a variety of STEM fields. For both these reasons, the undergraduate major must impart skills that are broadly applicable.
