Plan of Study

The MS in Aviation and Aerospace Management courses are offered on a rolling format, 100% online, that lets you progress through the program at your own pace. The rolling format allows you to complete the 30 required credit hours in 12 months to 5 years.

As you complete your first full semester, we'll work with you to establish your individual Plan of Study (POS). All students are required to have an approved Plan of Study in order to graduate from Purdue.

The Plan of Study serves as a contract between you, your advisory committee, and Purdue University’s Graduate School. Your POS is a blueprint for successful completion of your degree requirements. The plan must be approved adhering to department and Graduate School policies. We strongly encourage students to have an approved Plan of Study on file by the end of their first semester.

Refer to the table below and the POS Overview for assistance on what courses to take and when they’re offered.
