Overview

The Aeronautics and Astronautics program from University of Washington will prepare students to conduct independent research and to pursue careers in academia, government, or industry. (See Also: MSAA Admissions).

The MSAA can be completed with a master's thesis or through a selection of additional, masters-level coursework. MSAA students who meet minimum academic criteria are eligible to continue on for a Ph.D.

Ready to Graduate

At the beginning of the quarter in which they expect to graduate, students must submit an online degree request via the MyGrad website. Degree requests are reviewed by the department and the UW Graduate School to ensure all degree requirements have been satisfied. Students will be notified of any concerns or contingencies related to their requests.

All library books must be returned and all outstanding fines/fees paid before students will be allowed to graduate.

Graduating students must provide a reliable mailing address before graduating. This is the address where you will receive important materials such as your diploma. Addresses and contact information should be updated via MyUW. Diplomas and final transcripts are typically available 10-12 weeks after the end of the quarter in which the PhD is awarded.
