AI Thread Summary
Graduate school options in Aerospace Engineering are being explored, particularly at Embry Riddle Worldwide campuses, with a focus on the Kanehoe campus in Hawaii due to its lower costs and appealing location. There is a concern regarding the credibility of degrees from these campuses, but it is noted that degrees will still be conferred under the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University name, which should maintain employer confidence. However, it is important to note that the Worldwide campuses do not offer engineering programs; their offerings are primarily management-oriented. For a complete list of available graduate majors and their respective campuses, prospective students can refer to the official Embry Riddle website.

I'm on the search for graduate schools, most likely in Aerospace Engineering (coming from a B.S. in Physics). I'm considering some of the Embry Riddle Worldwide campuses, particularly the Kanehoe campus in Hawaii. The cost is much cheaper compared to the main campuses and being in Hawaii sounds nice. Has anyone had any experience with any of the worldwide campuses? If so, would you recommend it? They say the degree will still say "Embry Riddle Aeronautical University" so it seems employers wouldn't doubt the credibility.

Engineering programs aren't offered through the Worldwide campus, loudog. Most of their majors are more management-oriented. You can view the listing of graduate majors we offer and the campus that offers them on this page: http://www.erau.edu/degrees/ma-degrees.html
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
