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

The master's program in aerospace engineering sits in Dayton, a region closely tied to the history of flight and home to a major Air Force base, a research laboratory and aerospace employers. Graduate students use campus research facilities, among them a wind tunnel for low speeds, a water tunnel and a rare flight simulator. Students may also work with resources at the university's research institute, the Air Force's research laboratory and private industry. The degree needs a minimum of thirty semester hours, completed through either a thesis route, which combines eight classes with research credit, or a non-thesis route made up entirely of coursework in ten classes. The GRE is not required, though applicants may submit scores. The program belongs to the University of Dayton, a Catholic, Marianist institution in Dayton, Ohio. Prospective students can request information or begin an application online, and the graduate catalog lists complete degree requirements and course descriptions for anyone planning their studies.
