AA-MS - Aeronautics and Astronautics (MS)

Graduate Degrees outlines the university’s basic requirements for the master’s degree.

Students with an aeronautical engineering background should be able to complete the master’s degree in five quarters; note that many courses are not taught during the summer. Students with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Science, Mathematics, or other areas of Engineering may find it necessary to take specific prerequisite courses, which may lengthen the time required to obtain the master’s degree.

The Master of Science (MS) program is a terminal degree program. It is based on completing lectures focused on a theme within Aeronautics and Astronautics engineering. No thesis is offered. Research is optional (required to take the qualifying examination).
