Boeing forecasts 763,000 new pilot jobs and 739,000 maintenance technicians worldwide over the next 20 years*.
The Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics (BSA) degree is designed specifically for students who work, have worked or desire to work in aviation-related careers. For students with existing aviation-related knowledge and skills, this degree acknowledges a student's valuable acquired experience through the award of advanced standing prior-learning credit. The curriculum then builds on those skills and knowledge. The program also provides an opportunity for those students new to aviation to acquire aviation-specific knowledge through aviation-related coursework.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is recognized as a leader in the aviation industry, producing quality graduates who can successfully enter and succeed in the workforce. The BSA program is accredited by the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI), which requires a rigorous review of the curriculum to ensure the highest standards of performance, integrity, and quality are maintained. As a result, many of our graduates are recognized as trailblazers and exceptional leaders in the aviation and aerospace industries, including military general officers, astronauts and CEOs.

1 Time required to complete all degree program requirements may be less based on credit exemptions received through prior learning. The average time to complete all degree program requirements for a polytechnic diploma holder is 30 months.
Credit exemptions allow students to be exempted from specific course modules or requirements based on their previous academic achievements or professional experience. These exemptions acknowledge that students have already acquired the necessary knowledge or skills in a particular subject area, allowing them to focus on more advanced or specialized coursework. Credit exemptions involve a thorough evaluation of a student's transcripts, certificates, or other supporting documentation. Embry-Riddle will review these materials to determine if the prior learning or professional experience aligns with the degree requirements the student is pursuing. Credit exemptions are made on a case-by-case basis.
Polytechnic Diploma Holders
Most students holding a polytechnic diploma will receive at least 30 credit exemptions; however, many are eligible for more. The average number of exemptions a polytechnic diploma holder receives at Embry-Riddle is 45 credits.
Embry-Riddle has established articulation agreements with several institutes of higher learning in Singapore and the surrounding region. Visit Polytechnic Credit Exemptions page for an idea of how many exemptions are possible.
IB Diploma / GCE "A" Level Students
