<p>I've been trying to do some research but I haven't been able to find a legit updated list on the best Aerospace Schools in America. So can someone give me a list of the best Aerospace Engineering schools in America?</p>
<p>And also, if possible, can you give name the colleges in the list with good campuses, college life, dorms, food, etc?
Thank you so much!</p>
<p>My GPA was around a 3.5, so let’s get real.</p>
<p>Yeah, here’s the list you asked for.

<p>I can give you more personalized ideas if you answer these questions</p>
<p>If you can give me an idea of what part of the country you want to go to.
Do you want a college in a city or in a rural area?
What state are you from?
What kind of weather do you like?
Do you have any particular extracurricular you want to participate in?
Most important, how much can you afford per year? How much money per year will you and/or your family contribute to college funds?</p>

<p>And aerospace companies also hire a lot of Mech E students rather than aero.</p>
<p>Companies such as Boeing, United Technologies Corp., GE Aviation etc. hire plenty of engineers whom did not major in AE. As does NASA.</p>
<p>@LakeWashington so what if i so a bachelors in Mech. and a Masters in AE? </p>
<p>It’s much too soon to think about a graduate degree. You will be in a better position to know what direction your career should take when you are poised to graduate; a job with an aerospace company or further study. Most engineers enter the the field with simply a B.S.</p>
<p>My brother-in-law went to Tufts. A major aerospace company paid for his graduate school at Cornell, and he continues to work on top-secret projects for them. I know a young man who just graduated from Columbia SEAS: he did an internship with an aircraft manufacturer, and is also at Cornell doing graduate work in aeronautical engineering. </p>

<p>They also hire (and prefer) a lot of people specifically with AE degrees… It’s important to determine what it is you want to do in the aerospace industry before making any decisions.</p>
<p>For example, aerodynamics, stability and control, and flight testing positions tend to favor those with Aerospace Engineering degrees.</p>
<p>Schools that do not have an AE department nevertheless often offer course work in aerodynamics and vibrations, two important elements of aerospace design.</p>
<p>May I suggest that you look up Keith Comeaux of NASA (<a href=“http://www.lsu.edu/departments/gold/2012/10/nasa.shtml”>http://www.lsu.edu/departments/gold/2012/10/nasa.shtml</a>). He was the flight director for the Curiosity rover’s landing on Mars and his undergraduate is from LSU, which does not even offer a major in aerospace engineering. There’s probably more than one route to get you where you want to go.</p>
<p>Anybody know how Wichita State University rates?</p>
