The master's is probably only going to get you a community college teaching job though. For your bachelors degree, pretty much any school will do, especially if it offers a Ph.D. program. You don't have top get the Ph.D. at the same school you get the bachelors, but the fact that the school even has a Ph.D. program in astronomy puts it a cut above the others. And when you are there you will find out from the other students and professors and counselors what the best graduate schools are. Cal Tech, MIT, and Harvard come to mind. I believe Yale, UCLA and UT Austin have good programs too. But I haven't kept up with it, so do your homework, which means don't just ask here.

Try CalTech(California School of Technology), I know they work with NASA, so they might have one. I'm looking for that same answer.
