B.S. in Aerospace Engineering (PC) to M.S. in Aerospace Engineering (DB)
Exceptional students enrolled in the College of Engineering Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering degree program at the Prescott Campus can pursue a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Daytona Beach Campus in an accelerated format.
In this option, up to six hours of graduate coursework may be taken to fulfill undergraduate technical elective requirements and specified courses. These hours will count toward both the BS and MS degree requirements, provided that the student is enrolled in the accelerated option and receives a "B" grade or better in the course. These courses must be preapproved by both campuses. Students must complete a minimum of 120 undergraduate course credits for their Bachelor of Science degree.
Undergraduate students may apply to the accelerated MS option by submitting an application to the Daytona Beach Graduate Admissions Office. Students must have completed 88 credit hours toward the BS degree and must have a 3.0 minimum overall GPA and a 3.2 minimum GPA in AE/ES courses to be admitted to the program. The application must include two letters of recommendation from faculty in the undergraduate program to indicate (1) the applicant’s potential to successfully complete graduate-level work, and (2) evidence that the applicant has attained the foundational competencies for graduate degree studies. Students will be dropped from the program if their GPA falls below 3.0. The Bachelor of Science degree will be conferred upon completion of all bachelor’s degree requirements; the Master of Science degree will be conferred upon completion of all master’s degree requirements.
