Can I switch from Comp Sci to Aerospace?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Individuals with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Electronics Engineering can transition to a Master’s program in Aerospace or Nuclear Engineering in the USA. Many graduate programs accept applicants from related fields such as other engineering branches, physics, or mathematics. It is essential to review the specific admissions policies of the universities of interest to confirm eligibility. This flexibility allows for a diverse range of academic backgrounds to enter specialized engineering fields.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of graduate program admissions criteria
  • Familiarity with related engineering disciplines
  • Knowledge of physics and mathematics fundamentals
  • Awareness of specific university policies regarding degree transfers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research admissions policies for Aerospace Engineering Master’s programs at universities like MIT and Stanford
  • Explore prerequisites for Nuclear Engineering Master’s programs at institutions such as UC Berkeley
  • Review coursework in physics and mathematics relevant to aerospace and nuclear engineering
  • Investigate potential bridge programs for transitioning from Computer Science to Aerospace Engineering
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students considering a shift from Computer Science or Electronics Engineering to Aerospace or Nuclear Engineering, as well as academic advisors and university admissions officers.

Hello. Currently i am interested on aerospace and nuclear engineering in the usa. However i was just curious about something. Is it possible for a person who has completed BS in computer science and electronics engineering from another country to switch to Aerospace or nuclear engineering for MS in the usa? if the universities approve
my BS in CSE, will i be able to switch to Aerospace or nuclear for MS?
Thanks .:)

Many graduate programs don't require that you've majored in x-branch of engineering to get a masters degree in it, as long as you majored in a related field (another engineering branch, physics, math, etc.). You would want to look at the admissions policies of specific programs.
