Aerospace Engineering (M.S., D.E., Ph.D.)

Graduate Aerospace Engineering

At the University of Dayton, we offer M.S., Ph.D. or D.E. aerospace engineering programs that will challenge you to conceive, design and analyze products and systems. In our state-of-the-art wind tunnel and our full-motion flight simulator, you can conduct exciting, change-the-world research. We have a close relationship with the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) and the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI), so your scholarship opportunities are achievable. We're committed to collaborative learning and developing our students as professional engineers and scholars.
