Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering (MSAE)
The Master's Program in Aerospace Engineering (MSAE) at Santa Clara University is a two-year program targeted at students who want to pursue a career in the aerospace industry, government, or Ph.D. program. The primary target of this degree would be students with an engineering or science background. Furthermore, this program will provide local aerospace companies and government agencies access to a pool of talented engineers to adequately staff their needs and for our faculty to collaborate with the industry.
Aerospace Engineering students can choose between an Aeronautics or Astronautics concentration. Within Aeronautics, students learn the fundamentals of flight mechanics, materials, structures, and stability and control. Within Astronautics, students learn the fundamentals of orbital mechanics, space structures, attitude and orbit determination, attitude dynamics and control, and guidance and navigation.
