MA/MS in Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering

The aerospace engineering MS at Case Western Reserve University draws a small group of students who want to work on problems in flight and space. Topics include advanced aircraft structures, flow dynamics, thermodynamics and combustion science. Students may complete only courses, undertake a project, or concentrate on research. Research-track students may apply for departmental research positions that come with full tuition support, and some research extends real projects at NASA and aerospace firms. The course-only route can be done in about a year and a half. Applicants complete an online application with a statement of purpose, pay an $85 fee, and are encouraged to join a group of peers with varied backgrounds; and supply a bachelor's degree, unofficial transcripts, a current resume, and two recommendation letters. International applicants provide TOEFL or IELTS results.
