AAE offers Distance Graduate Education Degrees - Registration begins June 14th!
The School of Aeronautics and Astronautics offers an opportunity to earn non-thesis online MSAAE degrees via distance learning with online master's-level engineering courses designed for working professional engineers. The distance courses from the renowned engineering program of Purdue’s School of Aeronautics and Aeronautics and Astronautics are administered by Engineering Professional Education (ProEd).
The online MSAAE degree provides the opportunity to advance knowledge and expertise in this dynamic engineering field. School of Aeronautics and Astronautics graduates will gain the knowledge and expertise it takes to impact the ongoing development and refinement of the world's aviation, defense, and space exploration systems.
Registration for Fall semester 2010 opens on June 14, 2010 and will close on August 22, 2010. The Engineering Professional Education website below will give full information with contact information for more details. One major change for fall will be the elimination of the pre-registration step previously required.

August 29, 2010 Last day for course additions with no approval needed. Student registrations will be canceled for those students who have not resolved financial obligations by this date.
The online MSAA degree provides the opportunity to advance knowledge and expertise in this dynamic engineering field. School of Aeronautics and Astronautics graduates will gain the knowledge and expertise it takes to impact the ongoing development and refinement of the world's aviation, defense, and space exploration systems.
To pursue a non-thesis online MSAA degree, students must be admitted to the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics following the same criteria as on-campus students. In addition to the non-thesis MSAA degree, it is possible to pursue advanced studies relevant to aerospace engineering and earn an Interdisciplinary MSE or MS degree from Purdue.
Students will work with a Aeronautics and Astronautics graduate program committee composed of a lead advisor from the AAE faculty and at least two additional engineering faculty members to determine course selection.
Ten courses must be taken, for a total of 30 credit hours. A major area of study in AAE (at least four courses) as well as a minor area (at least two courses) and a minor area in mathematics (at least two courses) should be selected.
Online MSAA degree classes are available primarily through streaming video over the Internet or MPEG-4 podcast. Select MSAA program courses are available via CD, DVD or videotape.
