Aerospace Engineering (MSE)
Science, Space, Technology, engineeringgrad
The aerospace engineering faculty offer a graduate program leading to the MSE in aerospace engineering. A number of wide and diverse research areas may be pursued. All the graduate programs stress a sound foundation leading to a specialized area of study. Additional information can be found in the Graduate Guidelines on the school website.
- College/school:
Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering
- STEM-OPT extension eligible: No
30 credit hours and a portfolio, or
30 credit hours and an oral comprehensive exam, or
30 credit hours including the required applied project course (MAE 593)
The MSE is the professional master's degree. The student is encouraged to select a program committee chair (faculty advisor) as soon as possible but must select a program committee chair prior to completing 15 credit hours. The name of the student's program committee chair must be filed with the graduate programs office via the interactive plan of study (iPOS). A change of program committee chair requires approval of the Graduate Program Chair.
The program committee chair, in consultation with the student, will establish a Master of Science in Engineering Program Committee. The committee shall be composed of a minimum of three members from the ASU faculty with at least two being from mechanical, aerospace, chemical and materials engineering faculty.
As soon as possible, but prior to completing 15 credit hours, the student, in consultation with the program committee chair, must file an iPOS with the university. The committee and the Graduate Program Chair must approve changes to the iPOS.
The iPOS must be in accordance with university and program requirements. For students currently enrolled in a master's degree program at another institution and wishing to transfer to ASU, note that a maximum of nine graduate credit hours may be counted toward an MSE at ASU. A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 is required throughout the program. Candidates for the MSE must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of course work distributed as follows:
- At least 15 credit hours of course work directly related to a research area.
- At least six credit hours of mathematics.
- At least nine credit hours of graduate courses outside the major research area these may be engineering, science, mathematics or other areas approved by the student.
- A maximum of three credit hours of MAE 593 Applied Project may be listed on the iPOS.
General university admission requirements:
All students are required to meet general
university admission requirements.
U.S. applicants | International applicants | English proficiency

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
