dc.descriptionIn these lectures I discuss cosmological phase transitions with the goal of establishing the possibility of observational consequences. I argue that the {\em only} phase transition amenable of experimental study within the foreseeable future is that predicted by QCD and discuss some of the potential observational cosmological consequences associated with this phase transition(s). I describe the experimental effort to study the QCD phase transition(s) at RHIC and SPS and summarize some of the recent experimental results. The possibility of novel phases of QCD in the core of pulsars is discussed along with the suggested observational consequences. A brief review of standard big bang cosmology as well as the astrophysics of compact stars sets the stage for understanding the observational cosmological and astrophysical consequences of phase transitions in the standard model.
