At Embry-Riddle, you can convert your Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL) and your Air Transport Pilot License (ATPL) into university transfer credits toward either a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics or a Bachelor of Science in Pilot Operations.

As the table below shows, a typical U.S. bachelor’s degree is a four-year program requiring 120 credits (240 ECTS) to complete. At Embry-Riddle, pilots can earn up to 45 transfer credits (90 ECTS) for their MPL/ATPL, depending on their chosen program. Additional transfer credits may be granted based on the type of high school diploma obtained, such as the German G-9 Abitur, which takes 13 years to complete.

Bachelor of Science in Pilot Operations

Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics

The length of your studies depends entirely on how many courses you complete each year. Most undergraduate students take 3-5 courses annually, but it is possible to complete as many as 20 courses in a single year. Students have up to seven years to finish their bachelor’s program.

Our online degree programs offer multiple start dates throughout the year, allowing students to learn on their own schedule. Instead of semesters, we provide nine-week terms during which undergraduate students can enroll in up to four courses.

Please note that the final number of transfer credits will be determined by our academic evaluators, who will assess your professional licenses and specialized ratings during the application process. All applicants with non-U.S. high school diplomas must submit their official documents to a third-party Foreign Credential Evaluation Service. This process will determine whether a) your high school diploma is equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma, and b) if you will receive any U.S. transfer credits for your high school courses.

Senior pilots with an Abitur, MPL/ATPL and 12-plus years of work experience may be eligible for an “Experiential Learning Evaluation,” which may entitle them to apply directly to most of our 10-course master’s programs (not all of them are aviation-related) or to one of our four-course graduate certificate programs. Completing a certificate program would develop your specialty knowledge base in 12 months. We have an extensive list of subject matters to choose from, including:

• Aeronautics
• Aviation & Aerospace Sustainability
• Aviation Cybersecurity
• Aviation Safety
• Human Factors
• Project Management
• And many others

The Embry-Riddle Europe office provides support and academic advising throughout the application process.
