In summary, pursuing a physics major in college can lead to a career in aerospace engineering with the possibility of obtaining a masters degree in the field. A 3-2 program, where one obtains a degree in both physics and engineering, or an Engineering Physics Program with a focus on aerospace, would be the recommended paths for achieving this goal.

I am a freshman in college right now. I am going to pursue a physics major. Possibly major in astronomy and physics. I was curious if it would be possible to get a masters in aerospace engineering if I had a gotten a major in physics. Any help in this topic would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

Hey bud, that's what I'm doing right now, except i am doing a 3-2 program at my school. I'll get a degree in physics from my current college and then go to Case Western Reserve and do aerospace. When I'm through i'll have two degrees one in physics and one in engineering. A similar thing would be to do an Engineering Physics Program with a focus on Aero. To fully answer your question, Yes you can. In fact you would be better off becuase of your physics concertaion. You would need a few undergrad corses but other than that you would be fine.

, it is definitely possible to pursue a Masters in Aerospace Engineering with a physics major. In fact, many universities offer joint programs where you can earn a dual degree in both physics and aerospace engineering. This would allow you to gain a strong foundation in both fields and make you a valuable candidate for jobs in the aerospace industry. Additionally, having a background in physics will give you a solid understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts that are important in aerospace engineering. I would recommend speaking with an academic advisor or researching specific universities to find out more about their joint degree programs and requirements. Best of luck in your academic pursuits!
