Overview

Course Details

Prepare for the political, economic, legal, commercial, scientific, and technical challenges associated with human exploration in space with the Space Studies BSc course at the American Public University.

Very few space studies academic programs match the breadth and scope of this innovative online program and its concentration options, including space entrepreneurship. This degree in space studies uses a curriculum designed by a former NASA astronaut who took part in three shuttle missions and five spacewalks. Many faculty include scientists and engineers currently working for NASA, the space industry, and national astronomical observatories.

You’ll also have the opportunity to use the university’s state-of-the-art, remote-controlled observatory, with a fully online 24-inch aperture telescope.
