M.S. in Aeronautics

two flight students in a plane

The Master of Science in Aeronautics is offered through the Worldwide Campus and the ERAU Asia Institute. The program provides advanced study in aviation within a flexible, global learning environment supported by faculty and industry-related resources.

At the Worldwide Campus, the program is delivered in an online format that allows students to complete coursework on a flexible schedule. Instruction may include the use of virtual tools such as the Virtual Hub for the design and testing of uncrewed aircraft systems and virtual laboratories for aviation accident investigation and aerial robotics applications. Students have access to faculty, industry professionals, peers, and professional organizations. Students may select from specialization areas including Aviation and Aerospace Sustainability, Aviation Cybersecurity, Aviation Maintenance, Aviation Safety, Human Factors, Research, Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Operations, Space Operations, and Uncrewed and Autonomous Systems. The curriculum includes aviation safety, airspace management, aircraft systems, and flight operations, with emphasis on practical skills, research, and critical thinking.

At the ERAU Asia Institute, the full-time program requires completion of a defined set of courses, while the part-time program offered in collaboration with the Singapore Aviation Academy includes certificate options in Aviation Safety, Human Factors, and Aviation Cybersecurity. Graduates are prepared for leadership roles in the aviation sector.

Program-Level Student Learning Outcomes

Students will:

  • Apply mathematics, science, and applied sciences at a level appropriate to aviation-related disciplines at the master’s level, including an adequate foundation in statistics.

Program Details

The Master of Science in Aeronautics 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 core curriculum and at least one approved specialization. Students selecting the Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Operations specialization must be physically located in the United States while enrolled in UNSY 520 and UNSY 620 and should contact their academic advisor prior to enrolling in UNSY 515 regarding additional costs, potential travel requirements, and FAA testing. Students interested in the Research specialization should consult with their academic advisor regarding thesis requirements and sequencing.
