Distance Education

Some courses for the Aerospace Engineering MS degree can be taken through the Distance Education program. These courses are taught live to students in a classroom on the main campus and are available via Distance Education technology to off-campus students. Students enrolled through the Distance Education program are encouraged to participate during the class broadcast, while classes are recorded and archived.  Review a recorded lecture. 

Students must be admitted to the MS Aerospace degree program, and have an approved program plan, before they can be registered for any of the Distance Education courses.  Most Distance Education students choose the Plan C coursework only option.  Course selection varies by semester.

Visit the Graduate Degree Programs page for more information about the MS Aerospace degree.

Information about graduate admissions, including how to apply, can be found on the Admissions page.

Costs and computer requirements

• Distance education tuition rates can be found here. Tuition discounts are given to active military personnel. If a student has five or more associates from work who want to take the course together, additional tuition discounts may apply. 
• Students access their classes using an Internet Connection and Adobe Connect, which requires the Flash player plug-in to use.  Download the Flash plug-in before class begins. 

Registering for courses

• The MAE Graduate Academic Advisor registers students for the distance education courses.  Email the courses you want to take, and the advisor will provide the list to the Distance Education program so you will be registered.
