Graduate Degree Options

Undergraduate Minor

The aerospace minor is intended to supplement one of Caltech’s undergraduate degrees and is designed for students who wish to broaden their knowledge beyond their normal major or who may wish to pursue a graduate program involving aerospace or aeronautical engineering. Students completing the aerospace minor requirements will have the phrase “minor in aerospace engineering” added to their transcripts.
