<p>Guys can you list some really good Universities in any country with aerospace as a major? and yeah funding resources would be really nice too.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>michigan ann arbor</p>
<p>arizona state... or was it the university of arizona...</p>
<p>Embry Riddle Aeronautical University</p>
<p>University of Southern California</p>
<p>Purdue University</p>
<p>their rankings?</p>
<p>Embry-riddle or U of Michigan. Go to USnews for their rankings. You'll need a subscription tho =/
However, I can tell you that ER's aerospace program ranks 1st in the country for colleges with bachelors/masters as highest degree. UM is in the 'colleges with phD as highest degree' category and ranks 3rd there I think for aerospace.</p>
<p>ah nice..yeah I saw that I was looking for a few other options too.</p>
<p>Georgia Tech</p>
<p>I believe it's the #4 undergrad program with a masters or phd avalailable and the #2 graduate program.</p>
<p>At any rate, that's where I'll be for Aero.</p>
<p>Olin College of Engineering (<a href="http://olin.edu%5B/url%5D">http://olin.edu</a>), while it does not have an aerospace degree officially, is your best bet.</p>
<p>Think about it like this. If you are serious about aerospace, you need more than a BS. Grad schools usually prefer to accept engineers who come from a slightly different background than the field they are applying for. Olin has an excellent Systems Engineering program. The meat of aerospace is systems engineering... just add aerodynamics. You will understand this intuitively once you are actually engineering things.</p>
<p>As far as research... I am a freshman, I am conducting my own rocketry research project this semester, and Olin is funding it. If you want to know more details about that, PM me.</p>
<p>Finally, Olin allows you to patent any technologies developed during research without taking a cut, as almost every single other institution does. The importance of this cannot be understated.</p>
<p>MIT
Michigan
Purdue
Georgia Tech
CalTech
Colorado
Stanford (within ME degree) </p>
<p>All really excellent.</p>
<p>First of all, Purdue, Georgia Tech, and Colorado are safety schools compared to MIT, Stanford, etc.</p>
<p>Secondly, it depends on what you're looking for.</p>
<p>MIT, Caltech: more theoretical</p>
<p>Stanford, Olin: more practical</p>
<p>Lists of "top aerospace programs" are mostly useless. Go to a good engineering school in general.</p>
<p>^^ I don't care about admission selectivity. GT and Purdue have EXCELLENT aerospace engineering programs.</p>
<p>can someone please explain to me what the difference is between a weighted GPA and an unweighted GPA?</p>
<p>Air Force Academy hands down.</p>
<p>Technically, the air force academy offers two degrees, aeronautical and astronautical engineering.</p>
<p>i agree but that is only open to American Citizens and international students are represented by the Government in their countries from thier own academies which is very rare and difficult.</p>
<p>Cal Poly-SLO has a very good program.</p>
