Work with world-class faculty, including theorists, observers and instrumentalists, on NASA- and NSF-funded projects, to discover new planets, trace the evolution of stars and galaxies, explore the origin and development of the universe, build space-flight hardware and design instruments for telescopes and satellites.

Astrophysics and Astronomy, MS
The astrophysics and astronomy MS program prepares you for discovering new planets, exploring cosmology, and building space-flight hardware and instruments for telescopes and satellites. You work with world-class faculty on NASA- and NSF-funded space missions, seeking answers to questions about how our universe began and how it continues to evolve.

Exploration Systems Design, MS
Become a part of the next generation of researchers, those who are capable of inventing and implementing the next generation of scientific experiments, instruments and missions for Earth, planetary and space explorations.

Prepare for professional and academic careers with a program that combines the strengths of science and engineering. You will work with faculty in the natural sciences and engineering to design instrumentation for exploration including digital systems and circuits, computer/controlled systems, analog-to-digital converters and solid-state electronics.

Exploration Systems Design (Instrumentation), MS
The MS program in exploration systems design with a concentration in instrumentation promotes the development and growth of engineering-literate scientists and science-literate engineers who are interested in the design, construction and implementation of scientific instrumentation. Its unique curriculum combines science applications with engineering knowledge and skills through engineering and science courses focused on Earth science, space science and astrophysics. The concentration trains students to design the next generation of in-situ or remote sensing instrumentation for exploration of the Earth, space and the universe.

Combine your interests in exploration systems design and sensor networks with the strengths of science and engineering to prepare for professional and academic careers. Study computer networks, Earth-systems engineering, multidimensional signal processing, and information and random signal theory with faculty who specialize in the natural sciences and instrumentation design.

Exploration Systems Design (Sensor Networks), MS
The MS program in exploration systems design with a concentration in sensor networks promotes the development and growth of engineering-literate scientists and science-literate engineers interested in the use of robotics, data science and other computational tools applied to science problems in Earth and space sciences.Its unique curriculum combines science applications with engineering knowledge and skills through engineering and science courses focused on Earth science, space science and astrophysics. The concentration program trains students to use modern computational tools to solve the some of the most complex science problems humanity faces.

Prepare for professional and academic careers with this program that combines the creative strengths of science and engineering. You can study artificial intelligence, human factors engineering, smart materials and structures, and robot modeling with faculty specializing in the natural sciences, instrumentation design and systems engineering.
