Master of Science in Space Systems Management

Space systems management experts are needed to help create cost-efficient and integrated technologies in space enterprises. With a master's in space systems management from Florida Tech, students train to hold managerial positions in space systems in government or commercial space programs, engineering firms, high-tech companies, or the military, working with teams of engineers.

The space systems management program trains graduates to plan, design, build, integrate, test launch, operate, or manage all forms of space systems, subsystems, launch vehicles, spacecraft, payload, and ground systems. Florida Tech is a military-friendly university, and makes many degree programs such as this one available at military bases or online.

There are several career paths for individuals who earn a master's in space systems management in government or commercial space programs, engineering firms and high-tech companies. Graduates from Florida Tech are hired by private and government organizations, including Harris Corporation, Boeing, the US military, the European Space Agency, the Federal Aviation Agency, and NASA, among others.

Admission to the Master of Science in Space Systems Management program requires a bachelor's degree in a recognized field of engineering or physical science from an accredited curriculum. Coursework must have included mathematics through differential equations and at least one year of calculus-based physics. Proficiency at the undergraduate level in financial accounting and statistics is also required.

Applicants must have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.0 as an undergraduate in order to be considered for admission to a Florida Tech master's degree program. Transcripts from a non-US institution are internally recalculated to meet this threshold.
