Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering (Daytona Beach Campus)

The Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering program uses theoretical and practical training to help graduates learn spacecraft and aircraft design.As a recognized leader in aviation and aerospace education, EmbryRiddle offers a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering program that prepares graduates for a successful career in satellite and aircraft design, space exploration and more.

This graduate degree is designed for students who already have a degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related engineering field. The curriculum provides a favorable balance of practical and theoretical training. Students augment their engineering and science background with studies in computational fluid dynamics, aeroacoustics modeling, rotorcraft aerodynamics, flow control, air-breathing hypersonic and rocket propulsion and autonomous unmanned aircraft, as well as other topics in aerospace engineering.

Opportunities available to you while receiving a M.S. in Aerospace Engineering:

Flexibility and rigor to accommodate both full-time students and working professionals' needs
Specialty course and research opportunities for graduate students to shape their degree
Gain first-hand knowledge, enthusiasm and guidance from industry-leading faculty
Research areas including computational fluid dynamics, aeroacoustic modeling, guidance, navigation and control, computational structural mechanics and design optimization
Assist in paving the way in aerospace research and development

Applicants to the MSAE program should have an undergraduate degree in aeronautical engineering, aerospace engineering, or other engineering related degrees. The bachelor’s degree earned must be from an ABET-accredited engineering institution or its international equivalent. Applicants should also possess a strong academic record, generally evidenced by a CGPA of 3.00 or higher. The Graduate Records Examination (GRE) is required for acceptance into this program and applicants are encouraged to score at least 158 in the quantitative area (approximately 70th percentile). The GRE is waived for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Bachelor of Science Aerospace Engineering students; however, the GRE is required in order to be considered for financial aid from the AE Department.

Applicants with a bachelor’s or equivalent degree in other engineering disciplines, mathematics, or physical science, who otherwise meet the requirements for full admission, may also be admitted into the MSAE program. Within the MSAE program, applicants may opt for the thesis option or the non-thesis option.

Language Requirement:

The preferred minimum TOEFL score for admissions is 213 (computer-based), 79 (IBT Internet-based) or 8.5 (Essentials). The preferred IELTS score is 6.0. The preferred Duolingo score is 105. The preferred Cambridge score is 170.
