--Astronautics Masters Program Update--
As always this time of the year, we provide an update on the recent
developments in the program Master of Science in Astronautical
Engineering, or MS ASTE.
1) The Department of Astronautical Engineering (ASTE)
continues its steady growth. We are reaching students all over
across the United States and Canada as well as military
installations abroad. During the last six years, we awarded on
average 38 Masters degrees annually. (Statistics on page 3.)
2) Astronautics News pages 48.
3) ASTEs Ad Astra Student Society
(AASS) continues its work. For more
information about the society and its
programs and how to get involved, please
contact AASS President Will Yu at
w.yu@usc.edu (see also page 6).
4) Our professional networking group USC
Astronautics Alumni, Students, Faculty,
and Friends was established on LinkedIn
four years ago. We have more than 480
members as of October 2013.
See http://astronauticsnow.com/astrousc_linkedin/.
We welcome not only our current ASTE students and alumni but
also other USC students who took Astronautics graduate courses
and friends and supporters of the program from industry,
government centers, and space advocacy groups.
5) As always we provide in this document a long-term course
schedule and other information of interest to our current and future
students. Please always check with Astronautics Student Affairs the
near-term course schedule.

In competition for NASA astronaut selection
ASTEs Alejandro R. Diaz received his PhD in Astronautical Engineering in
2012. (Dissertation: Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Emergency Aid for
Extended Planetary Surface Missions: Through-the-Spacesuit Intravenous
(IV) Administration)
Dr. Diaz was selected as a Finalist Interviewee during this year's NASA
Astronaut Selection Process. Last year, NASA received over 6,300
applications and after several down-selects and interviews, which included
medical, psychological and physical examinations, Alex was selected as part
of the 50 finalists, from which NASA selected 8 astronauts in July. Though Dr.
Diaz was not selected this time around, he plans to apply again in the future.

Per aspera ad astra!
The Rocket Propulsion Lab attempted to launch a rocket to the highly ambitious
300,000 feet on September 21, 2013. After successful liftoff, the rocket malfunctioned at
the 5000-ft altitude. As old rocket hands would emphasize, it is already a success if
nobody got hurt. The students plan to repeat the launch in the near future.
When successful it will likely be the highest altitude achieved by a rocket built by
students.

The University requires official transcripts from the accredited colleges or universities the
applicant has attended. The MS Degree Program in Astronautical Engineering (Code ASTE)
requires a minimum GPA of 3.0.
General Record Exam
The Department of Astronautical Engineering requires the general GRE. The GRE must be taken
within five years of the application date. USCs ETS school code is 4852. Applicants taking the
GRE should use this code to ensure official submission of test scores.
TOEFL (International Students only)

Limited Status Enrollment
Limited enrollment is to provide strong candidates for admission the opportunity to get started,
without having to wait for the next admissions cycle. Strong candidacy is indicated by a B.S. in
engineering or science from a regionally-accredited institution with a GPA of 3.00 or above.
Students who do not meet these standards must apply for admission where their GPA,
transcripts, GRE scores, and letters of recommendation will be evaluated by admissions officers
and faculty.
Limited-status students can take up to three (3) courses. These courses will be credited, after
formal admission to the program, toward the Master's degree in Astronautical Engineering (MS
ASTE).
Students who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree should not delay their application.
We have a number of limited-status students in the program.
Admission
Applicants will be notified once a decision has been reached by ASTE Search Committee.
Admitted applicants will receive further information about advisement, housing, orientations, and
campus tour.
Conditional Admission
Applicants who do not meet admission qualifications may be granted conditional admission.
Conditionally admitted student will be notified in writing of their admission status and of the
conditions which must be satisfied to gain regular student status. Students must satisfy the
admission conditions typically during the first semester of study.
