*View a complete AERO course list and course descriptions. Graduate courses are those listed as level ”6000” and up. Those that are also offered online have a corresponding listing with a course section beginnng in "D" (e.g., AERO 7676 Dxx). The course section will change from term to term.
Why this degree?
The Department of Aerospace Engineering offers both a thesis and non-thesis Master of Science, which provide students an opportunity to sharpen their skills in aerospace system design, development, manufacturing, maintenance, and operation. Those who earn the degree will have a competitive advantage among industry and government employers.
Who is eligible?
- Those who hold a bachelor's degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering or equivalent from an institute of recognized standing(transcripts required) are eligible.
- Applicants with degrees in other science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines are encouraged to apply and may be required to complete undergraduate aerospace engineering courses before official admission into the graduate program.
- An undergraduate GPA of 3.0/4.0, and 3.4-plus is considered more competitive.
- In general, GRE scores of 160-plus for quantitative reasoning and 150-plus for verbal reasoning are considered competitive.
- Three letters of recommendation are also required.
What can you expect?
- Once admitted into Auburn Engineering's graduate program, you will work with the graduate program officer to create a plan of study:
- Dr. Vrishank Raghav — vzs0037@auburn.edu
