Dual Degrees: M.S. Aerospace Engineering / Engineering Management and M.S. Mechanical Engineering / Engineering Management

Admission requirements follow the general admission rules for aerospace and mechanical engineering graduate programs. For admission requirements, refer to Viterbi Graduate Degrees and Requirements at USC Viterbi School of Engineering.

The Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering in conjunction with the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering/Engineering Management and Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering/Engineering Management. These programs are designed for graduate aerospace and mechanical engineers whose career objectives lead to increasing technical management responsibilities.

In addition to the general requirements of the Viterbi School of Engineering, the M.S. in Mechanical Engineering/Engineering Management and M.S. in Aerospace Engineering/Engineering Management require a 3.0 GPA and completion of a minimum of 48 units with the following distribution:

A minimum of 18 units of graduate-level course work in AME approved by an AME academic advisor including:

• AME 525 (4 units)
• 14 additional units of AME graduate-level elective course work
  • Elective courses include any AME graduate-level course. Note that choice of electives may allow you to satisfy an optional specialization below.
    • Cross-listed classes count as AME department courses.

• A minimum of 18 units of graduate-level course work in ISE, approved by an ISE academic advisor and chosen from the course list under Master of Science in Engineering Management
• Remaining units from the 48 needed can be selected from 400- or 500-level courses in AME and/or ISE as approved by the ISE academic advisor to form a coherent program.
• No more than 15 units may be at the 400 level.
