78 Master's degrees in Astronomy & Space Sciences in United States
Astrophysical Sciences and Technology
The Astrophysical Sciences and Technology program of Rochester Institute of Technology explores the depths of the universe through multidisciplinary research as you dive into an area that most interests you, whether it be general relativity, theoretical astrophysics, observational or instrumentation development, or another area related to astrophysics.
Space Resources
Want to learn how to identify, extract, and utilize resources beyond our planet? Colorado School of Mines has a degree for that: the Space Resources program.
Space Studies
The Space Studies program at American Public University provides advanced instruction in orbital mechanics, past and current space exploration endeavours, remote sensing, and the role of space in support of modern warfare.
Physics and Astronomy
The M.S. in Physics and Astronomy from Ohio University can be earned by submission of a research thesis with an oral examination and at least 14 credit hours of graduate level lecture or laboratory courses in Physics & Astronomy.
Space Systems Management
With the Space Systems Management program of the Florida Institute of Technology, students train to hold managerial positions in space systems in government or commercial space programs, engineering firms, high-tech companies, or the military, working with teams of engineers.
Natural Science (Earth and Space Sciences)
Explore the wonders of Earth and space with Arizona State University's Natural Science (Earth and Space Sciences) MNS program. This interdisciplinary program delves into the complexities of our planet and beyond, preparing students for careers in research, education, and environmental stewardship.
Aviation and Space (Online)
The Science in Aviation and Space (Online) from Oklahoma State University encompasses all sectors of the aviation and aerospace industry.
Atmospheric and Space Sciences
Climate & Space academic programs are integrated studies designed to give students a broad base of study in atmospheric, space and planetary science. The Atmospheric and Space Sciences program from University of Michigan is similar to the first two years of the doctoral program, however the core courses are not required.
Astrophysics
The Astrophysics program at California Institute of Technology - Caltech is contingent upon an extensive research achievement. Students in the program are expected to join a research program, and carry out independent research leading to publications in peer-reviewed journals, as well as a thesis.
Earth and Planetary Sciences
The Earth and Planetary Sciences course of Rutgers University is designed to provide an educational environment to encourage students to become competent and technically adept Earth and planetary scientists who wish to pursue a career in education, industry, government, nongovernmental organizations, or the service sector
Astronomy and Astrophysics
UCLA is internationally renowned for astronomical research. Faculty and students have private access to the world's largest ground based telescopes (the two Keck's) and to the telescopes at the Lick Observatory. The Astronomy and Astrophysics programme is offered at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Applied Physics
We are always looking for students with a strong background in physics to join Applied Physics graduate program from Iowa State University.
Earth and Planetary Sciences
The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at The University of New Mexico prides itself in its ability to provide a solid foundation in both field- and laboratory-based geosciences.

Space Systems
This Space Systems degree at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is designed to provide students with the tools they need to be successful programme managers of major space systems.
Space Systems and Operations
The Space Systems and Operations programme from Kansas State University will allow students to understand space operations in contested and open environments, vulnerabilities and threats to space systems, the physics and chemistry of the space environment, and orbital mechanics, communications and spacecraft to support space missions in the civil and commercial space sectors.
Physics - Planetary Sciences
The Master of Science in Physics - Planetary Sciences is offered by the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida.
High Energy Physics
Our department at Iowa State University has active research programs in both experimental and theoretical High Energy Physics.
