Aerospace Engineering, BS

Program Introduction

The Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering (BSAE) program at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) provides students with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for the design, analysis, fabrication, and testing of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, and other aerospace-related systems. The program offers comprehensive education in the core areas of aerospace engineering including aerodynamics, structural mechanics, propulsion systems, flight dynamics, and control theory, with students developing abilities to solve real-world aerospace problems through theoretical knowledge and practical experiences. This program is designated as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) program, allowing international students to benefit from up to 36 months of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the United States. Georgia Tech's School of Aerospace Engineering offers an exceptional educational experience through outstanding faculty, cutting-edge research facilities, and industry connections. The program is designed to provide students with real engineering experiences through team projects, research opportunities, internships, and cooperative education (co-op) experiences, preparing graduates for successful careers in the aerospace industry, government agencies, research laboratories, or graduate studies.
