B.S. in Human Factors Psychology to M.S. in Human Factors

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Human Factors Psychology (BSHFP) degree program at the Worldwide College of Arts & Sciences have the opportunity to pursue the Worldwide Master of Science in Human (MSHF) in a combined degree program format. Combined bachelor's and master's degree program pathways provide academically talented students an opportunity to complete a bachelor's and a master's degree on an accelerated timeframe. ERAU recognizes that academically qualified undergraduate students may benefit from the advanced rigor and challenge of taking graduate-level course work prior to completing their bachelor's degree and being accepted into a graduate program.

A student who has earned a minimum of (1) 75 credit hours; and (2) a 3.00 CGPA may apply for admission into the combined program pathway through the Worldwide graduate admissions office. Students will then take up to nine (9) graduate credit hours to satisfy both undergraduate degree and graduate degree program requirements.

Upon completing the BSHFP requirements, the Bachelor of Science degree will be conferred, 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 B.S. and M.S. degree requirements, provided the student maintains enrollment in the combined program and receives a "B" or better in the courses. Students will be dropped from the program if their GPA falls below 3.0. The BSHFP degree will be conferred upon completion of all bachelor's degree requirements; the MSHF 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 MSHF program and has acquired the minimal hours required for graduation with the B.S. in Human Factors Psychology, any MSHF 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 to determine appropriate course selection. Students will take HFCT 606  Human Cognition, HFCT 612 Human Performance, Limitation and Error and one other MSHF graduate-level elective course during their undergraduate degree.
