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

This program allows the exceptional student to complete the Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics (BSA) and Master of Science in Aviation (MSAV) degrees. 

Upon completing the BSA requirements, the Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautics will be conferred, and students will be enrolled in the MSAV degree. 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 graduate courses taken in lieu of the Professional Development elective courses in the BSA degree, the student will be removed from the MSAV program and may continue to complete the BSA degree only.

If the student chooses to leave the program before the completion of the MSAV program and has acquired the minimal hours required for graduation with the B.S. in Aeronautics, any MSAV transition courses used to meet graduation requirements will be noted as undergraduate courses for the purpose of graduation.

Approved Courses for the Combined Option

Students enrolled in the combined option must consult their academic advisor and the MSAV program coordinator to determine appropriate course selection. Students will spend three academic years in undergraduate-level study and then, during their senior year, will be allowed to take up to three 500-level graduate courses from their selected MSAV specialization to replace an equal number of Professional Development elective courses in the BSA degree.
