B.S. in Computational Math to M.S in Aviation Finance

This program allows the exceptional student to complete the Bachelor of Science in Computational Math (BSCM) and Master of Science in Aviation Finance (MSAF) degrees.

Upon completing the BSCM requirements, the Bachelor of Science degree in Computational Math will be conferred, and students will be enrolled in the MSAF degree. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of “B” or better must be earned. These credits will count toward the B.S. and MSAF degree requirements, provided the student maintains enrollment in the combined program and receives a "B" or better in the courses.

If the student chooses to leave the program before the completion of the MSAF program and has acquired the minimal hours required for graduation with the B.S. in Computational Math, any MSAF 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 MSAF program coordinator to determine appropriate course selection. Students will take ACC 517, BA 523, and/or FIN 518 to replace an equal number of Open Elective courses in the BSCM degree.

The Business Administration or Finance minor must be selected as the minor field of study to prepare the student for this degree option. The undergraduate course options shown in the Suggested Plan of Study are the recommended classes for students to prepare for this combined program. Not following the suggested plan of study will require the student to take additional courses to prepare for the MSAF.
