Other Higher Education Programs

Space Grant consortia administer programs that serve to assist faculty in developing NASA-related courses, curricular materials for the study of space and aeronautics science and technology, and new major or minor courses of study. All consortia generally promote faculty collaboration on research and education projects. For the past four years, 1991-1994, the Space Grant consortia have administered close to 1000 higher
education programs.
