Shortly after Apollo 11, Armstrong stated that he did not plan to fly in space again.<ref>{{cite news |first=Christopher |last=Riley |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/2009/jul/09/apollo-astronauts-walking-moon |title=The Moon Walkers: Twelve Men Who Have Visited Another World |date=July 10, 2009 |access-date=May 3, 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140204055219/http://www.theguardian.com/science/2009/jul/09/apollo-astronauts-walking-moon |archive-date=February 4, 2014}}</ref> He was appointed Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics for the Office of Advanced Research and Technology at [[DARPA|ARPA]], served in the position for a year, then resigned from it and NASA in 1971.{{sfn|Hansen|2005|p=584}} He accepted a teaching position in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the [[University of Cincinnati]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Neil Armstrong Remembered |url=http://ceas.uc.edu/about/neil-armstrong-remembered.html |website=University of Cincinnati |access-date=November 28, 2015 |language=en-US |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208165113/http://ceas.uc.edu/about/neil-armstrong-remembered.html |archive-date=December 8, 2015}}</ref> having chosen Cincinnati over other universities, including his ''alma mater'' Purdue, because Cincinnati had a small aerospace department,{{sfn|Hansen|2012|p=590}} and said he hoped the faculty there would not be annoyed that he came straight into a professorship with only a USC master's degree.<ref>{{cite web |title=Apollo 11 Crew Information |website=Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Journal |last1=Jones |first1=Eric M. |publisher=NASA |date=November 1, 2005 |url=http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11.crew.html |access-date=August 28, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070828070600/http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11.crew.html |archive-date=August 28, 2007 }}</ref> He began his master's degree while stationed at Edwards years before, and completed it after Apollo 11 by presenting a report on various aspects of Apollo, instead of a thesis on the simulation of hypersonic flight.{{sfn|Hansen|2005|pp=590–594}}

At Cincinnati, Armstrong was University Professor of Aerospace Engineering. He took a heavy teaching load, taught core classes, and created two graduate-level classes: aircraft design and experimental flight mechanics. He was considered a good teacher, and a tough grader. His research activities during this time did not involve his work at NASA, as he did not want to give the appearance of favoritism; he later regretted the decision. After teaching for eight years, Armstrong resigned in 1980. When the university changed from an independent municipal university to a state school, bureaucracy increased. He did not want to be a part of the faculty collective bargaining group, so he decided to teach half-time. According to Armstrong, he had the same amount of work but received half his salary. In 1979, less than 10% of his income came from his university salary. Employees at the university did not know why he left.{{sfn|Hansen|2005|pp=590–594}}
