Admissions: All MEng students are admitted through the College of Engineering. Learn more about the MEng admissions process .

Common Questions

Can I get an MEng and later apply to the PhD program in Aerospace Engineering?

A student with an MEng degree and admitted to the Aerospace Engineering PhD program may not count coursework taken for the MEng towards the required coursework for the Aerospace Engineering PhD. The student must take 18 hours of graduate level coursework in Rackham before advancing to candidacy.

Can I apply to both MEng (Space Eng) and MSE (Aerospace Engineering) programs?

You may apply to both programs, but they have different admissions processes and deadlines.

MEng (Space Engineering)
