Notes:

  1. 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.
  2. 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 ERAU prerequisite course(s) unless the prerequisites are specifically part of this Agreement. A grade of “C” or better is required to be accepted as transfer credit.
  3. Math Courses: 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.
  4. STAT 211: Transfer credit may be awarded, or this course 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.
  5. Specified Electives may be adjusted depending on the amount of transfer credit awarded for General Education, Core Requirements and previous ERAU credit awarded. If transfer credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
  6. Open Electives may be adjusted depending on the amount of transfer credit awarded for General Education, Core Requirements and previous ERAU credit awarded. If transfer credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
  7. Minors: Students may select one minor field of study (except Uncrewed Autonomous Systems). Required credits in each minor vary. Please consult the Worldwide Minor Courses of Study for up-to-date list. Courses taken in minors cannot duplicate (double-count) for requirements in other areas. Transfer credit may be awarded, or courses may be required if not transfer credit present. If transfer credit is not awarded, no more than 60 SH will be required to complete the degree program.
  8. Transfer credit may be awarded, or the courses listed below (in order) may be waived 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: COMD 322, COMD 460, MGMT 408 and MKTG 450.
