BA/BS in Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical/Space Engineering

This bachelor's program in aerospace engineering prepares students for work on aircraft and spacecraft. It is ABET accredited and carries a STEM designation, which matters for international students seeking work authorization. Students can add a concentration, a minor or electives, and a combined five-year bachelor's and master's route is offered. Projects completed for industry and community partners, locally and abroad, form a central part of the learning, including work on topics such as autonomous flight control and structural design. Undergraduates at Worcester Polytechnic Institute also take part in project-based learning, with the chance to complete real projects for outside organizations. Options such as a minor, a concentration or a combined bachelor's and master's route let students shape the degree around their own goals, and the university's career services help graduates move into jobs or further study.
