Admissions / Declaring

First-year students are not admitted directly to the Aerospace Engineering Department but to the University of Michigan and the College of Engineering. Students declare a major, typically in their second or third semester at Michigan.  Students declaring Aerospace Engineering as their major are assigned a faculty advisor in the Department.

Information on admission for first-year students, transfer students and international students is available on the website of the College of Engineering Admissions Office, or contact Linda Weiss, 3054-A FXB, 734-764-3310.
