About the program

Aerospace Engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, development, testing and production of aircraft and related systems that fly within the Earth’s atmosphere (Aeronautics) and of spacecraft, missiles, rocket propulsion systems and other equipment operating beyond the Earth’s atmosphere (Astronautics)

The Department of Aerospace Engineering awarded the Bagley College of Engineering’s first master’s degree in 1951 and its first doctoral Aerospace Engineering program from Mississippi State University in 1960. We have awarded degrees to men and women who are now leaders in government, industry, and education around the world.

Program Structure

The Doctor of Philosophy with an emphasis on Aerospace Engineering degree typically consists of a minimum of 50 hours of coursework beyond the master’s degree, of which at least 20 hours is devoted toward dissertation research.
The program of study is determined in consultation with the student’s major professor and committee.
The student must choose a committee consisting of a major professor, who is a member of the graduate faculty in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, and a minimum of three other members.
At least fifty percent of the committee must be members of the graduate faculty in the Department of Aerospace Engineering.
