BSA-MSA 4+1 Combined Pathway Program: Accelerated opportunity to earn an MSA
This program is for students who are committed to continuing their education through the Master’s degree. This fast-paced program allows qualifying students the opportunity to complete both the Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics (BSA) and the Master of Science in Aeronautics (MSA) in five academic years.
Students who are accepted in the BSA-MSA 4+1 combined pathway program, will spend three academic years in undergraduate-level study and then, during their senior year, will be allowed to take up to three graduate-level courses from the MSA to replace an equal number of elective courses in the BSA degree. Before selecting the three courses to be taken, students must confer with an advisor to ensure that the courses selected are suitable (a grade of B or better must be achieved). Upon completion of the BSA requirements, students will be enrolled in the MSA and can complete their degree in one year. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of B or better must be earned. If a grade of C or F is earned in any of the courses taken in lieu of the elective courses in the BSA degree, the student will be removed from the program, have credit awarded to the BSA degree only, and may continue to complete the BSA degree.
As a minimum, the applicant must have at least a 3.00 GPA. Students initiate program acceptance through their Academic Advisor or Campus Advisor; to help ensure program criteria are met. Student Advisor will complete the request for processing into the 4+1 program.

Students pursuing the BSA degree program at a full-time pace will take 3 courses each term. The 120-credit hour BSA degree is designed to be completed in 3.5 years. However, diploma and/or “A” level holders are eligible for a significant number of course exemptions and can expect to complete the degree program in as little as 2 years.

Credit exemptions allow students to be exempted from specific course modules or requirements based on their previous academic achievements or professional experience. These exemptions acknowledge that students have already acquired the necessary knowledge or skills in a particular subject area, allowing them to focus on more advanced or specialized coursework. Credit exemptions involve a thorough evaluation of a student's transcripts, certificates or other supporting documentation. Embry-Riddle will review these materials to determine if the prior learning or professional experience aligns with the degree requirements the student is pursuing. Credit exemptions are made on a case-by-case basis.
Polytechnic Diploma Holders
Most students holding a polytechnic diploma will receive at least 30 credit exemptions; however, many are eligible for more. The average number of exemptions a polytechnic diploma holder receives at Embry-Riddle is 45 credits.
Embry-Riddle has established articulation agreements with several institutes of higher learning in Singapore and the surrounding region. Visit the Polytechnic Credit Exemptions page for an idea of how many exemptions are possible.
