Bachelor in Astronautik

Don't just talk about “moon shots,” do the real thing — and aim even further (think: Mars). Since launching the nation’s first aeronautical course in 1914, we have helped win the race to the moon, shaped the aviation industry, and advanced national security technologies.

Our faculty and students are now shaping the next century of “flight,” applying their know-how to autonomous vehicles and aircraft, miniaturized satellites, and missions to Mars ... and beyond.

A shared purpose drives the MIT community: to make a better world through education, research, and innovation. We are fun and quirky, elite but not elitist, inventive and artistic, obsessed with numbers, and welcoming to talented people regardless of where they come from.

Founded to accelerate the nation’s industrial revolution, MIT is profoundly American. With ingenuity and drive, our graduates have invented fundamental technologies, launched new industries, and created millions of American jobs. At the same time, and without the slightest sense of contradiction, MIT is profoundly global. Our community gains tremendous strength as a magnet for talent from around the world. Through teaching, research, and innovation, MIT’s exceptional community pursues its mission of service to the nation and the world.
