The M.S. in Aerospace Engineering offers a dynamic learning experience that allows students to tailor their academic studies through specialized coursework and research opportunities.
The Daytona Beach Campus M.S. in Aerospace Engineering focuses on hands-on learning and advanced research. Students will benefit from cutting-edge facilities and expert faculty guidance. Students will engage in applied aerospace projects covering areas like dynamics and controls, composite materials, large systems, and wind tunnel testing. Housed in the Department of Aerospace Engineering within the College of Engineering, students will have access to the nearby Eagle Flight Research Center, a 10,000-square-foot hangar with runway access at Daytona Beach International Airport. This unique resource offers real-world opportunities to innovate in aircraft and propulsion research.
The Worldwide & Online M.S. in Aerospace Engineering allows students to advance their expertise in key areas such as aerodynamics, propulsion, dynamics and control, structures, and materials.

The Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering requires successful completion of a minimum of 30 credit hours. Students enrolled in the Worldwide Graduate Online program may complete the degree in six terms, or approximately two years, assuming full-time enrollment and continuous progress. Students pursuing this graduate degree must earn a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.00 for all work completed at the University. The courses required to earn this degree are listed below.
Students should be aware that many courses have prerequisites and/or corequisites. Students are responsible for ensuring that all prerequisite and degree requirements are satisfied prior to enrollment in advanced coursework. The suggested plan of study is provided as a guide. A student's actual plan of study may vary based on term of admission, course availability, transfer credit, and other academic considerations. Students should consult with their academic advisor to develop an individualized plan of study.
Students must complete the required aerospace engineering core curriculum and one approved elective in systems engineering or airworthiness engineering. Students should work closely with their academic advisor to ensure prerequisite requirements are met and courses are completed in the recommended sequence.
