hi every one,

does anybody knows a MSc degree in motorsport at united states?
i just find some places in uk.

thank you,

Hi Felippe,
In the USA I think they call it MSc in Automotive engineering. The only one I know of which claims Motorsports in their title are Crandfield, Oxford Brookes In UK, ISMANS, France(Taught in english) and RMIT, Austrailia.

I started the program at ISMANS in Le Mans, France but stopped for my current job.

IUPUI (Indiana Purdue University-Indianapolis) started a Motorsports Engineering degree program a couple years ago. It's in Indianapolis, Indiana. Unfortunately there is only a Bachelors option and no Post-Grad studies available yet. If I remember correctly, this is the first "Motorsports Engineering" program in the US, and they may extend it to offering a Masters degree in a few years. I'd think the next closest places for something along these lines would be at Rose-Hulman Institue or Georgia Tech, but those are just guesses.

Colorado State University http://www.engr.colostate.edu/me/motorsport/

Ok! thank you for your attention

University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

They offer their AE online along with blended /on campus.

Kettering University...See SAE partnership...also partially available online.


The Oxford Brookes chassis course looks great but they shot their distance learning price to something insane.

Anyone know of vehicle dynamics online courses other than the ones I found?


Edit: Just realized you asked for motorsports...meh close enough?

Other options are the VIPER program at Virginia Tech and iCAR at Clemson.

As a former Colorado State motorsports master student I would not recommend this program. There is very little past or ongoing motorsports research and a reluctance to find or even help bring in any research opportunities. Please PM me if you want further information.

If anyone's looking for a good meaty Master's thesis subject, I have a couple of good, timely ones in mind. If you would want to go deeper into the subjects, one would make splendid PhD thesis. You would need access to a tire F&M test apparatus, belt is preferred, but a drum might do. Nothing fancy.

Just ask...

Interesting info CSU. I haven't researched any grad-level stuff yet, but CSU was definitely on my list.

Bill,

I have been considering returning to school to get my PhD. I would definitely be interested in What topics you had in mind. Thanks
