Advanced Manufacturing Sciences Major, B.S.

MSU Denver’s Advanced Manufacturing Sciences Institute is at the forefront of a revolution in America’s manufacturing economy: That is the use of smarter, leaner factories to develop and produce innovative new products, materials and techniques.

The multi-disciplinary Advanced Manufacturing Sciences degree, which is taught by faculty from a variety of technology disciplines, will prepare you for leading-edge careers in the Advanced Manufacturing sector.

To earn your bachelor of science degree in Advanced Manufacturing Science, you’ll complete a common core of courses focused on subjects and experiences that are critical to a successful career in Advanced Manufacturing. In addition to that core, you’ll integrate one of eight concentrations such as Aerospace, Civil Engineering Technology/Construction, Computer Information Systems, Industrial Design or Operations Management.

The MSU Denver Advanced Manufacturing Sciences bachelor degree program is designed to help you develop skills in critical thinking, leadership, technical writing, computer-aided designing and more. Plus, you’ll come to understand Advanced Manufacturing industry sectors, manufacturing materials and processes, testing and inspection, project and budget management, electronics and data management (including cyber-risk).

A critical component to MSU Denver’s Advanced Manufacturing Sciences degree is the required Professional Internship course, giving you the invaluable opportunity to work onsite at one of MSU Denver’s manufacturing company partners on a real-life project as well as critical industry contacts for future employment opportunities.

As an Advanced Manufacturing Sciences student, you’ll have access to state-of-the art technology and experiential laboratories in MSU Denver’s new Aerospace and Engineering Sciences Building.

One of the most exciting technologies available to you as an Advanced Manufacturing Sciences student is the Stratasys Fortus 900 mc 3-D printing machine, which can manufacture parts for everything from medical devices to satellites. MSU Denver offers opportunities for students to collaborate with the campus-based York Space Systems team in their production facilities and Mission Operations Center on the AES building’s enterprise floor. York, founded by former employees of Lockheed Martin, Ball Aerospace, NASA and Orbital ATK, produces and controls 150 to 200 satellites each year.

The more highly educated a manufacturing worker is, the higher the earning potential.

This multidisciplinary degree program, which was formally launched in fall 2017, has already produced graduates who have been hired as manufacturing professionals with an average starting salary of $76,000.00.
