Overview
As one of the top-rated graduate aerospace engineering departments in the U.S., we offer our graduate students and post-doctoral scientists an advanced curriculum, exposure to current events through an active seminar series, and state-of-the-art research supported by the externally-funded research programs of our faculty.
Our graduate program offers these degrees: Master of Engineering (M.Eng.), Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. Coursework and research topics include manned and unmanned aircraft, satellites and constellations, aerospace sciences, propulsion and energy, robotics and sensing, rotorcraft, hypersonic vehicles, autonomous morphing vehicles, advanced materials and structures, plus many more. University and research funding supports assistantships and internships, and furnishes our laboratories with modern facilities, instrumentation and computing resources.
