Major in Aero/Astro
Undergraduates enter Stanford with their majors undeclared. Although Aero/Astro is primarily a graduate department, Stanford undergraduates may declare a Major in Aeronautics and Astronautics leading to the Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics. The principal purpose of this degree is to prepare students who are strongly interested in aerospace for subsequent graduate study in the field.
Course requirements include:
| Mathematics | 24 units during freshman, sophomore or junior years. |
| Science | 19 units in freshman or sophomore years. |
| Technology in science | 1 course (3-5 units) |
| Engineering fundamentals | 3 courses, including Engineering Thermodynamics (ENGR 30) and Programming Methodology (ENGR 70A). |
| Departmental requirements | 46 units, including Introduction to Aero/Astro (AA 100) and specified other courses in the School of Engineering. Students will select two depth areas from among Dynamics and Controls, Systems Design, Fluids and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Structures, and take two courses from both areas. |
Details on the course requirements can be found in the School of Engineering's Handbook for Undergraduate Engineering Programs.
Freshmen and sophomores are welcome to come to our Aero/Astro Student Services Office to discuss the possibilities for future involvement in our programs.
