ACCELERATED PROGRAM
Accelerated Master’s Program (AMP) B.S. – M.S./Ph.D.
Students with strong scholarly and/or research interests may apply for admission to a combined bachelor’s and master’s/doctoral degree program to begin their graduate program during their senior year of undergraduate study. Advisors will help students identify which technical electives will count toward both of their degrees.
3x 3-credit courses while an undergrad (double-counted).
GRADUATE CERTIFICATES
Students can earn a graduate certificate in aerospace engineering or advanced manufacturing when they complete 9 credits of 500-level and above coursework. Students may apply for and complete just the certificate, or apply for both the certificate and a degree program. The certificate is available on campus or online, and is intended for working professionals looking to stay competitive in their field, advance their knowledge, and obtain additional training.

Associate Dept. Head for Graduate Studies Dr. Todd Bandhauer at REACH Colab
Bandhauer laboratory: large-scale experiments in realistic settings
Graduate students in Todd Bandhauer’s laboratory get unique research experiences they’re unlikely to get other places, including lessons in engineering economics, technical design, and analysis.
Bandhauer’s Research End Market and Commercialization Hub is in the aptly named Powerhouse Energy Institute where practical demonstrations of technology are life-size – at a scale that’s found in industry and much larger than the typical academic research laboratory.
In addition to learning to work as a team, his students are getting lessons in engineering economics, technical design and analysis. Ultimately, they get to build something big and cool.
“That’s one of the great things about being at a land-grant university. Students that come here get a lot more hands-on experience and they’re much better prepared to make a significant impact once they leave.”
