Graduate Program

"Vibrating in place" is how one of our faculty members has described being a graduate student in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. There are myriad opportunities available to you – for research, for collaboration, for deep study, and, yes, for fun – and you'll be privileged to work with some of the brightest and most motivated colleagues in academia and industry.

You'll have the opportunity to work in one of the research laboratories affiliated with the Aero-Astro program, or you may choose to explore the laboratories in one of the other academic departments.

Our graduate students become engineering leaders in the corporate world, in government service, and in education. Our alums are entrepreneurs who start their own businesses; they are policy-makers shaping the direction of research and development for years to come; they are educators who bring their passion for learning to new generations.
