Master of Science in Space Sciences

Florida Tech’s master’s in space sciences program includes a wide range of space-related fields, including stellar and extragalactic astrophysics, cosmology and the origin and evolution of the universe, solar-terrestrial interrelation, cosmic ray physics, and exoplanets, to name a few.The program gives global insight into the scientific community and enhances understanding of trending topics and technology. Small class sizes allow professors to mentor students in a close-knit one-on-one academic environment. Faculty members are active researchers in three primary areas: geospace physics, astronomyastrophysics, and planetary sciences. They are also members of the CanariCam Science Team, giving students access to guaranteed time on the 10.4 m GTC, currently the largest ground-based Optical-IR telescope.This intimate learning environment is heightened by large-university quality internship and research opportunities. Students can align research with their career goals, and study advanced topics ranging from cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, and solar energetic particles to thunderstorm and lightning physics, black holes, and exoplanets. With access to a variety of laboratories, and thousands of high-tech and space-related companies, research at Florida Tech is like no other.
