Welcome to MSU Denver
Founded in 1965, Metropolitan
State University of Denver is
Colorado’s urban land grant
university, located on the Auraria
Campus in downtown Denver.
Offering individualized, relevant
bachelors as well as select
masters degrees, MSU Denver educates more undergraduate Coloradans than any other
college in the state. With an enrollment of nearly 24,000 students, MSU Denver is consistently
featured on Forbes’ list of America’s Top Colleges.
The Aviation and Aerospace Science Department at MSU Denver is one of the largest and most
advanced collegiate aviation programs in the country and offers access to a number of valuable
resources instrumental to the success of our students. The Robert K. Mock World Indoor Airport,
located on campus, features ultra-modern FAA-approved single and multi-engine flight training
devices, aerospace computer-based training systems, full-featured advanced flight labs, and
Air Traffic Control training simulation. The Denver area, long an epicenter of aviation and
aerospace commerce, offers numerous area airports and flight schools.
MSU Denver’s Precision Flight Team has been recognized as one of the top collegiate aviation
programs in the United States, being awarded the 2011 Loening Trophy, the oldest and most
prestigious award in collegiate aviation - honored by the City of Denver in 2012; and, recognized
by the State of Colorado Legislature as a state asset in 2012. The Loening Trophy recognizes
excellence in aeronautical skills and sets the current benchmark for an overall outstanding
collegiate aviation program, taking into account academics, community involvement, aviation
skills, safety and an ability to advance the profession.

Colorado and Aerospace
...a Match Made in the Stars.
For nearly 70 years, Colorado’s aviation and
aerospace industry has grown and thrived.
Due to its central U.S. location and minimal
susceptibility to enemy attack, military presence
in the state began to increase dramatically in
World War II. Lowry and Peterson military
bases proved to be industry pioneers, creating
highly advanced photoreconnaissance
techniques which in turn developed into
technologies for monitoring satellites and other
space applications. Founded near Peterson Air
Force Base in Colorado Springs, the United
States Air Force Academy was established in
1954, and has served as a catalyst for fostering
research at Colorado universities and for the
development of the aviation and aerospace
industry as we know it.
Today, Colorado boasts the nation’s second
largest aerospace economy, with over 400
employers either classified as aerospace
companies or serving as suppliers to the
industry. Metro Denver is ranked second among
the 50 largest metropolitan areas for aerospace
industry cluster employment concentration, and
first in private aerospace employment. In all,
over 163,000 people are working in aerospacerelated Colorado jobs.
Several of the nation’s top aerospace contractors
have a large presence in Colorado, including
Lockheed Martin, Ball Aerospace, Raytheon,
Northrup Grumman, Jeppesen-Boeing, and ITT
Industries. These contractors provide valuable
military assets to the Department of Defense, as
well as supplying instrumentation, spacecraft,
and ground control services to the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Private companies enjoy the benefits of being
central to where the action is as well, and big
names like Ball Aerospace, United Launch
Alliance, DigitalGlobe, and Sierra Nevada are
either based or have a significant presence in
the state.
Home to one of the healthiest and most highlyeducated adult populations in the U.S., and
surrounded by the natural beauty of the Rocky
Mountains, it’s really no surprise that Colorado
continues to be a mecca for the industry,
acting as a magnet for big-name aviation and
aerospace companies and high-caliber talent.

Individualized Degree Programs (IDP)
The Individualized Degree Program (IDP) offers you the opportunity
to seek unique degree programs that combine coursework from
a variety of disciplines. The following IDP degree programs are
offered:
1. B.S. Aerospace Physics
2. B.S. Aerospace Systems Technology
3. Minor in Space Commercialization
First Steps for the Development and Approval of
an Individualized Degree Program (IDP):
A. Attend an information session.
Information sessions are held on a regular basis throughout the
year, and are structured to give you the basic information needed
to begin developing your degree proposal. A schedule of sessions
is available from the Center for Individualized Learning, located
in Administrative Building, room 360 on the third floor. This
schedule is also posted on their website at www.msudenver.edu/
cil/, or you may contact the Center directly at 303-556-8342.
B. Meet with an advisor in the Center for
Individualized Learning to discuss your proposal.
Bringing a tentative list of courses you wish to consider for
your program, or emailing it to the advisor in advance of your
scheduled appointment will make the session more useful to you.
An unofficial transcript is also helpful. Advising appointments
may be scheduled by calling the Center at 303-556-8342.
C. Develop your degree plan in consultation with
your Center Advisor and a faculty mentor.
Exploring the questions listed in the "Questions to Assist You in
Your Planning" section may help you in your planning.
Visit www.msudenver.edu/cil/ for further details about
Individualized Degree Programs.
For related AVS advising and specific questions about aerospace
IDPs, contact Dr. Jeffrey Forrest at [email protected].

Program Details
B.S. AEROSPACE PHYSICS
Individualized Degree Program (IDP)
Major: B.S. Aerospace Physics (IDP)
The Aerospace Physics (IDP) major is designed to provide a solid academic foundation for
those students interested in careers in aerospace or planetary sciences, and prepares the
student for entrance to graduate school and career opportunities in research. This program
provides students with a strong background in space science, planetary science, and other
fields related to astronautics and space research, all of which are invaluable for aerospace
industry employment.
These suggested courses comprise an extended major which requires no minor; note that the
General Studies courses differ from those required in ASC and AAM programs. Students
must work with the Center for Individualized Learning (www.msudenver.edu/cil/) as well as
Dr. Jeff Forrest, chair of the AVS Department, to ensure that the proposed Individualized
Degree Program meets the needs of the individual student as well as those of the industry.

B.S. AEROSPACE SYSTEMS
TECHNOLOGY
Major: B.S. Aerospace Systems Technology (IDP)
The Aerospace Systems Technology (IDP) major is designed for those seeking careers in
aerospace or aviation, and prepares students for positions requiring a strong background in
engineering technology, technology management, project management, and systems integration.
MSU Denver is working in collaboration with industry, academic institutions, and government
agencies such as the FAA and NASA to prepare students with the varied skills needed to be
successful in this field.
These suggested courses comprise an extended major which requires no minor; note that
the General Studies courses differ from those required of ASC and AAM programs. Students
must work with the Center for Individualized Learning (www.msudenver.edu/cil/) as well as
Dr. Jeff Forrest, chair of the AVS Department, to ensure that the proposed Individualized
Degree Program meets the needs of the individual student as well as those of the industry.
