Notes:
- This degree will require no more than 60 SH to be taken with ERAU-Worldwide toward the declared AU-ABC program for students who have met the CCAF graduation requirements. For credit evaluation of courses taken at other academic institutions (not listed above), students should submit official transcripts with their admissions application. All previously earned credit (ERAU and otherwise) will be taken into consideration for course exemption decisions. After initial evaluation, no more than 60 additional ERAU credits will be required for completion of a Category I program.
- Even though transfer credit is awarded for a specific ERAU course as part of the Agreement, no assumption may be made that credit is awarded for any prerequisite course(s) to the ERAU course unless specifically a part of this Agreement. A grade of “C” or better is required to be accepted as transfer credit.
- There must be 40 SH of upper-level coursework (300-400 level).
- Physical/Life Science Elective: May be awarded for any MET 1000-2000 level course or PHY 1422 course meeting this requirement. If this transfer credit is not present, 6 SH of Physics/Biology/Meteorology courses may be required, but no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
- Mathematics: Transfer of direct equivalents may be awarded. If direct equivalent transfer credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
- Computer Courses (CSCI 109, CSCI 123 and CYBR 235): Transfer credit may be awarded, or these courses may be required if no transfer credit is present. If transfer credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
- Management Foundation: Transfer credit may be awarded, or HRMD 314 may be awarded with INT 5000 and INT 7000, or this course may be required if no transfer credit is present. If credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
- Math Courses (STAT 211 and STAT 222): Transfer credit may be awarded, or these courses may be required if no transfer credit is present. If transfer credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
- Minors: Students must select two minor fields of study. While students may select multiple combinations of minors and retain a degree total of 120 credits, they are cautioned that some combinations of minors will result of degree totals exceeding 120 credits, regardless of their AU-ABC Category 1 status. Should Category 1 students select minor combinations that raise the degree total above 120 credits, they will be responsible for additional credits and tuition.
- Specialization Area: Transfer credit may be awarded, or specialty area of related courses may be required if no transfer credit is present. If transfer credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
- Elective Hours may be adjusted depending on the amount of transfer credit awarded for General Education, Core Requirements and Minors in addition to previous ERAU credit awarded. If transfer credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program. Any shortages in the 40 required upper-level hours may be made up in the Elective Area.
