B.S. in Aeronautical Science (PC) to M.S. in Aviation (DB)

This program allows the exceptional student to complete the Prescott Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science (BSAS) and the Daytona Beach Master of Science in Aviation (MSAV) degrees.

Upon completing the undergraduate requirements, the Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Science will be conferred, and students will be enrolled in the graduate degree. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of “B” or better must be earned. Graduate courses completed with a grade of “B” or better will apply toward both the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. Students earning a grade of “C” or lower in any graduate course will be removed from the combined option but may continue to completion of the undergraduate degree, with the graduate course reclassified as undergraduate credit where appropriate.

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 Aeronautical Science, 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 Program

Students enrolled in the combined option must consult their academic advisor and the MSAV program coordinator to determine appropriate course selection. Up to three graduate courses from the list below may be taken and will replace an equal number of Open Elective courses in the BSAS degree.
