B.S. in Pilot Operations to M.S. in Aeronautics

This program is for students who are committed to continuing their education through the Master’s degree. This fast-paced program allows qualifying students the opportunity to complete both the Bachelor of Science in Pilot Operations (BSPO) and the Master of Science in Aeronautics (MSA) in five academic years at the Worldwide campus.

While a bachelor’s degree will afford the student qualifications toward entry-level and management positions in aviation, the addition of a master’s degree will enable graduates opportunities for enhanced global leadership and larger income potential.

Approved Courses for the Combined Option

Students who are accepted in the BSPO-MSA combined pathway program must complete a minimum of 75 credit hours toward the BSPO degree; all core courses must be taken. Students must confer with an advisor to ensure that the courses selected are suitable (a grade of B or better must be achieved). Upon completion of the BSPO requirements, students will be enrolled in the MSA and can complete their degree in one year. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of B or better must be earned. If a grade of C or F is earned in any of the courses taken in lieu of the elective courses in the BSPO degree, the student will be removed from the program, have credit awarded to the BSPO degree only, and may continue to complete the BSPO degree.

As a minimum, the applicant must have at least a 3.00 GPA. Students initiate program acceptance through their Academic Advisor or Campus Advisor; to help ensure program criteria are met. Student Advisor will complete the request for processing into the program.
