B.S. in Aeronautical Science to M.S. in Safety Science

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science (BSAS) degree program at the Prescott College of Aviation have the opportunity to pursue the Master of Science in Safety Science (MSSFS) in a combined degree program format.

The Bachelor of Science degree will be conferred upon completing the undergraduate requirements, and students will be enrolled in the Master of Science 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 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 BSAS degree will be conferred upon completion of all bachelor's degree requirements; the MSSFS 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 MSSFS program and has acquired the minimal hours required for graduation with the B.S. in Aeronautical Science, any MSSFS 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-level SFTY courses (excluding SFTY 691 and SFTY 700) that can be used to satisfy the BSAS-specified elective requirements.
