The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers a program leading to the Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering (MS AE). This research-oriented academic degree is appropriate either as a terminal degree or in preparation for doctoral studies in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Courses at the graduate level are often offered in the late afternoon or evening to enable students from local industry to complete their studies.
Two options are available to complete the MS in Aerospace Engineering. Students may choose either the Thesis or Non-Thesis option. Both options have a total of 30 hours of graduate level coursework.
