Requirements for the Master of Science in
Aerospace Engineering degree include completion of 30 credit hours of graduate
level courses at the 500 or 700 level with an overall
grade-point average of 3.0. Each student in the MSAE Distance
Education program must complete a minimum of four (4) core
MAE courses from a concentration area and two additional MAE courses at the 500 or 700
level. In addition, each student must complete three credits of MAE 586 – Project
Work in Aerospace Engineering. The remaining three courses may consist of any graduate
level engineering, mathematics or statistics course offered through Engineering Online.
MSAE Distance Education students are permitted to take and attend courses on campus. However, approval must be obtained from the
Director of Graduate Program prior to registering. Under
no circumstances can more than three courses taken on-campus be applied to satisfy the
off-campus students’ degree requirements.
All requirements for the degree must be completed within six years
of enrolling in the first course appearing on the NCSU graduate transcript. For additional
information please call Ms. Judy Cline at (919) 515-3026 or e-mail her at: judy_cline@ncsu.edu.

Since 1978, the North Carolina State University College of
Engineering has been offering a graduate Distance Education program in an effort to help
engineers and science professionals stay current and productive in their fields without
the constraints of on-campus attendance. The Engineering Online
program delivers regular classroom courses that are recorded in specially equipped studios
and made available to off-campus students via CD-ROM and the Internet.
The Engineering Online Program at
NC State University is designed for working professionals.
Credit courses in Engineering and Computer Science can be delivered directly to
your home or workplace via CD-ROMs or the Internet. Special undergraduate programs are
also offered at various locations throughout
If you would like additional information or would like to talk to
someone about these programs, contact the Engineering Online
office at 1-877-254-0058 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
