<p>any of the top 20 schools on the list of the programs with doctorate level programs above are going to be stronger than the non-doctorate programs - ERAU and the Air Force Academy included</p>

<p>Syracuse also has a fine program I hear. And St. Louis University has a great school and a FLIGHT school to match it.</p>

<p>Caltech is pretty awesome, though usually what you do is major in MechE, and then get a minor in Aero (take two, full year graduate Aero courses). Also, you could intern/do research at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which Caltech owns/runs. We don't actually offer a full major in Aero though, but there's so much crossover with MechE, it doesn't seem to matter here (which is probably why they dropped it as a major, and made it a minor).</p>
