Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Science may be attained in eight semesters. To earn the degree, successful completion of a minimum of 120 credit hours is required. The purpose of the Aeronautical Science degree program is to prepare the graduate for a productive career as a professional pilot and responsible citizenship in support of aviation and aerospace industries. Upon completion of the curriculum, the student will possess an FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate (Professional Pilot Track) or FAA Commercial Pilot and Flight Instructor Certificate (Flight Education Pilot Track). Optional advanced flight training includes upset recovery training, certification as a flight instructor and instrument flight instructor, and training as a flight crewmember in a jet transport aircraft.
Students pursuing the Aeronautical Science degree will choose either the Professional Pilot - Fixed Wing or Professional Pilot - Helicopter specialty. All students must complete the general education courses, Professional Pilot core courses, and the courses required to complete one specialization to earn the Aeronautical Science degree.
Flight education is a continuous process that normally begins sometime during the student’s first year of attendance and will progress until culminating in a multi-engine commercial certificate with an instrument rating. The curriculum is designed to allow students to meet core objectives in a reasonable amount of time.
Various factors influence student progress. These factors include student academic preparation, student availability, student determination and dedication, the availability of aircraft and instructor pilots, and the cooperation of the weather. Consequently, some students will finish before others. After completing the flight core curriculum, students may take an additional semester or more to acquire additional advanced certificates and ratings, including certified flight instructor airplane and instrument, certified flight instructor rotorcraft/helicopter and instrument, and/or they may enroll in the Airline Flight Crew Techniques and Procedures or the Airline Dispatch Operations course.
After matriculation at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, all flight training for credit must be completed at Embry-Riddle. Only under extreme extenuating circumstances will ERAU students be allowed to complete any off-campus training for credit after matriculation. Fixed-wing students desiring to do so must obtain written approval in advance from the Flight Department Chair. Helicopter students desiring to do likewise must obtain written approval in advance from the Helicopter Program Chair. The credit will be awarded as advanced standing, and the procedures for requesting credit when training is completed, will be specified in the written approval (Off Campus Authorization Form).
Aeronautical Science students will be awarded credit for FAA certificates held prior to matriculation to Embry-Riddle and may be approved to complete partial training towards a certificate or rating if flight training from an appropriately rated instructor was logged prior to matriculation. If FAA certificates are held, this training must have occurred after the attainment of the most recent certificate for which credit is granted. Except as provided above, after a student matriculates, all flight training must be completed at Embry-Riddle. In all cases, students must satisfactorily complete at least one flight course on campus after advanced standing is awarded. See the Flight Department chair or Helicopter Program chair as appropriate concerning exact credit.
Enrollment in flight courses requires proof of U.S. citizenship or a Department of Justice background check for international students. Please see the Aviation Transportation and Security Act (ATSA) under the Admissions section of this catalog.
Program Requirements
General Education
Embry-Riddle degree programs require students to complete a minimum of 36 hours of General Education coursework. For a full description of Embry-Riddle General Education guidelines, please see the General Education section of this catalog.
Students may choose other classes outside of their requirements, but doing so can result in the student having to complete more than the degree's 120 credit hours. This will result in additional time and cost to the student.
