Program-Specific Criteria

Master of Business Administration in Aviation (MBAA)

Applicants for admission to the MBAA program are required to meet prerequisite knowledge in the following areas:

  • Management
  • Quantitative Methods
  • Accounting Methods
  • Marketing

Students should assume responsibility to see that prerequisites are satisfied. However, students who still lack prerequisite knowledge in one of the following areas may be required to register for one or all of the modules contained in MGMT 503 (A through F): management, quantitative methods, marketing, accounting, economics, and/or finance. The prerequisite subject knowledge for a specific graduate course must be satisfied before enrollment in that specific course is permitted. Students may enroll in other graduate level courses as they meet any specific prerequisite knowledge required.

The prerequisite knowledge can be validated through one of the following:

  1. Completed an undergraduate or graduate course in each of the specific subject areas and upon validation of the course from an official transcript; OR
  2. Completed a course listed in either the National or ACE Guide for which academic credit in one of the specific subject areas is recommended; OR
  3. Received at least the minimum recommended score on a CLEP, DANTES, PEP, etc. exam in each of the subject areas as required; OR
  4. Received at least the recommended score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), see www.mba.com; OR

Conditional Admission

  • Students who fail to satisfy the guidelines for full admission, but who are judged to have potential for success in a graduate program, may be granted conditional admission.
  • Students who are admitted conditionally will be on conditional status until they have completed 9 hours of graduate work. During this period, students must maintain a B average or better, and receive no more than one grade of C and no grade of F. Students will not be permitted to repeat courses during this period.

Former Embry-Riddle Graduate Students

A student whose attendance at the University is interrupted may be required to apply for readmission.

In the scenarios described below, a new application for admission must be filed.

  1. Graduate students are expected to take all coursework with Embry-Riddle, once admitted into a degree program. Therefore, enrollment at another institution will require readmission.
  2. Failure to enroll in at least one course at Embry-Riddle in any two-year period from end date of last course.
  3. Academic dismissal from the University. Students who have been academically dismissed are not eligible to reapply for two years from the dismissal date. A written petition for readmission must accompany the application for admission and fees.
  4. A student does not complete the degree requirements of a graduate program within 7 years of matriculation in the graduate program.
  5. A student who has been dismissed from the University for any reason other than academics must first satisfy the conditions for readmission as indicated in the letter of dismissal. The dismissing campus renders the decision for readmission.

Professional Development Graduate Students

Students who meet the general admission criteria may, based on an assessment of their preparedness to take graduate courses, be admitted as special students.

An application, including all undergraduate and graduate transcripts from an accredited degree granting post secondary institution, must be submitted to be considered for admission as a special student.

Professional Development students will be limited to a total of 12 hours of graduate credit. Should a student in this status subsequently apply for entry into a degree program, additional admission and all degree program requirements must be met.

Professional Development students must meet the same academic standards as degree seeking students.

Admission-Graduate Certificates of Completion

Students who meet the general admission criteria may, based on an assessment of their preparedness to take graduate courses, be admitted to a graduate certificate program.

An application, including all undergraduate and graduate transcripts from an accredited degree granting post secondary institution, must be submitted to be considered for admission to a graduate certificate program.

Graduate certificate program students may only enroll in graduate courses outlined in the certificate programs. Should a certificate program student subsequently apply for entry into a degree program, additional admission and all degree program requirements must be met.

Graduate certificate students must meet the same academic standards as degree-seeking students.
