B.S. in Aeronautics to M.S. in Aeronautics

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 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 and earned a minimum of 75 credit hours toward the degree. 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 program.
