SUMMARY
A physics major can successfully transition into a master's program in aerospace engineering. Steven, a participant in a 3-2 program, is pursuing a dual degree in physics and aerospace engineering at Case Western Reserve University. He confirms that a physics background is advantageous for aerospace studies, although some additional undergraduate courses may be required. This pathway is also supported by the option of an Engineering Physics Program with a focus on aerospace.
