B.S. in Applied Meteorology (PC) to M.S. in Aeronautics (WW)

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Applied Meteorology (BSAMET) degree program at the ERAU Prescott College of Aviation have the opportunity to pursue the Worldwide Master of Science Aeronautics (MSA) in a combined degree program format.

The Bachelor of Science degree will be conferred upon completion of the undergraduate requirements, and students will be enrolled in the Master of Science program. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of “B” or better must be earned. These credits will count toward the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements, provided the student maintains enrollment in the combined pathway program and receives a "B" or better in the courses. Students will be dropped from the combined pathway program if their GPA falls below 3.0. The BSAMET degree will be conferred upon completion of all bachelor's degree requirements; the MSA degree will be conferred upon completion of all master's degree requirements.

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

Approved Courses for the Combined Program

Students enrolled in the combined option must consult their academic advisor to determine appropriate course selection. Students can take up to three graduate courses (not including RSCH 700A and RSCH 700B) that can be used to satisfy the BSAMET-specified elective requirements. The approved prefixes are UNSY, CYAV, SYSE and RSCH.
