To be eligible for the MS in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, applicants should hold a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or a closely related field with a minimum GPA of 3.2 out of 4.0. A strong foundation in core engineering subjects is expected. The GRE is optional but encouraged, especially for those seeking financial support; a quantitative percentile ranking of 85 or higher is recommended. Applicants without an aerospace background may need to complete prerequisite courses such as ENAE 283 (Introduction to Aerospace Systems) before enrolling in core graduate courses.
