Aeronautical Engineering Grad School

Graduate School
1

<p>So I want to go to grad school for aerospace engineering, and my main option is Wichita State because in-state tuition is so cheap. I did my undergrad at Purdue, but can't really afford to go out of state again.</p>

<p>I was wondering if the program is nationally respected. Growing up in Kansas, I always heard it was solid, but I am not sure if employers outside Wichita know about it. I really don't want to work in Kansas after I graduate.</p>

<p>Assuming I can get a solid GPA, will a masters degree from WSU allow me to work for top-tier companies like Lockheed, Northrop, etc.</p>

<p>Also, does it look bad going from a top-tier undergrad institute to a program that isn't nearly as strong?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Instead of worrying about in state/out of state tuition you should try to get funding so you don’t have to pay at all. If you are going for a PhD you will probably be guaranteed funding wherever you go. If you are going for a masters funding may be harder to get but not impossible.</p>
