About

The aerospace industry is a dynamic and multidisciplinary field, encompassing the design, analysis, testing, and operation of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems. As aerospace technology advances rapidly, there is a growing demand for professionals with cutting-edge expertise, not only in traditional engineering areas but also in emerging fields such as autonomous flight, space exploration, and advanced materials. This certificate serves as a focused pathway for students and professionals seeking to enhance their technical competencies, transition into aerospace roles, or upskill to meet the evolving demands of the industry and Maine’s nascent space economy.

While there are various different options for attending graduate school, The University of Maine is the only college to offer a graduate certificate in Aerospace Engineering in the state of Maine. In fact, UMaine is one of only two colleges in New England to offer an Aerospace Engineering graduate certificate. The department is proud to prepare you to use principles of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve complex Aerospace Engineering problems that meet the needs of various stakeholders.
