Preparing for the Major

Students are strongly encouraged to complete the recommended math and science courses as early as possible, as doing so will significantly strengthen their preparation for advanced courses and help them make steady progress through the major.

We also encourage all students interested in majoring in Aero/Astro to join an extracurricular club such as the Stanford Student Space Initiative or the Stanford Flight Club to gain valuable hands-on project experience earlier in your academic career before the capstone courses senior year.

Class Spotlight! AA 100, This class introduces the basics of aeronautics and astronautics through applied physics, hands-on activities, and real world examples. No prerequisites. 

Declaring the Major

  1. Download the Aero/Astro Program Sheet from the School of Engineering website. Please include courses you plan to take as well as those you have already taken. If you plan on applying AP or IB credit to your program, confirm credits in MAP, or you may review the School of Engineering Transfers-AP-Exceptions webpage.

  2. Complete the program sheet and declare the Aero/Astro Major on Axess. Then email the Aero/Astro Student Services Specialist to assign you an Aero/Astro faculty member to be your advisor.
