Overview
The Department of Aerospace Engineering offers graduate study leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy with an Aerospace Engineering concentration. Online learning options for these degrees are also available (see http://www.bcoelearning.msstate.edu). Major areas of study are include the following: Aeronautics, Aerodynamics, Aeroelasticity, Autonomous systems, Structures and composites, Computational fluid dynamics, Design optimization, Fatigue and fracture, Fluid structure interaction, Guidance and control, Nondestructive evaluation
Requirements
In addition to meeting the requirements discussed in the General Requirements for Admission section of this publication, the minimum requirement for regular admission to the graduate program is a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering or a closely related field, with a 3.00/4.00 GPA for the junior and senior years. An applicant with a B.S. degree from a program that is not accredited by EAC/ABET (Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) must submit GRE general-test scores. Applicants required to take the TOEFL examination (see Admission section for more details) must have a minimum score of 550 PBT (79 iBT) or an IELTS score of 6.5. Applicants for the Ph.D. program should have a M.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering or a closely related field. Exceptionally qualified applicants (GPA in excess of 3.50/4.00 for junior and senior years) may apply for direct admission to the Ph.D. program. Graduates from an EAC/ABET-accredited program will receive the highest consideration.
