Cost of Attendance

The experience was excellent. I met my best friends in some of my early engineering courses, I constantly collaborated with the faculty who served as mentors and faculty sponsors for my student organizations, and I was able to earn multiple internships at SpaceX, ExxonMobil, Firefly Aerospace, Toyota, and the Air Force Research Lab.
