Maryland Applied Graduate Engineering (MAGE) announced recently that its Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) and Graduate Certificate in Engineering (GCEN) degrees in Aerospace Engineering will now be available completely online. The program had previously only been available in-person.
With this programmatic update, Aerospace Engineering joins 13 other MAGE programs– Bioengineering, Cloud Engineering, Cybersecurity, Embedded Systems, Energy Systems Engineering, Engineering Artificial Intelligence, Fire Protection Engineering, Hypersonics, Project Management, Reliability Engineering, Robotics, Software Engineering, and Systems Engineering– offered 100% online. The M.Eng. and GCEN in Aerospace will continue to also be offered in person at the University of Maryland College Park campus.
MAGE is ranked #11 among U.S. colleges and universities for online graduate engineering by U.S. News & World Report. The addition of Aerospace Engineering to its online offerings highlights MAGE’s commitment to continuously evolve to keep up with industry demand.
“Expanding our Aerospace Engineering graduate programs to an online format is a major step in making top-ranked engineering education accessible worldwide,” says George Syrmos, Assistant Dean for Continuing Education. “At MAGE, our priority is aligning academic excellence directly with industry demand. Whether our students want to accelerate their current trajectories or pivot into high-growth sectors, this flexible online format delivers the practical expertise and career outcomes necessary to lead in today's aerospace landscape."
The online M.Eng. and GCEN in Aerospace Engineering join the online Hypersonics GCEN in MAGE’s portfolio of forward-looking distance-learning options, establishing a robust hub for specialized, high-demand education within the broader aerospace landscape.
Through MAGE’s degree stacking framework, students can strategically combine these offerings to maximize their credentials without adding time or cost. M.Eng. students can incorporate a 4-course GCEN, such as Hypersonics, Systems Engineering, Project Management, or Engineering Artificial Intelligence, directly into their 10-course degree plan as technical electives. This allows engineers to graduate with two distinct, resume-enhancing credentials simultaneously without needing a separate admissions application.
