a. Integrated BAE/MAE students are required to complete all BAE Option Specific Courses and MAE Required Courses
listed to fulfill the BAE and MAE degree requirements.
b. The transcripts and degree audits accounts for the credits in a slightly different manner. Student shall become familiar
with this credit tracking system.
GRC – Credits will appear only on M.A.E. transcript (These courses will appear on the undergraduate transcript and the
degree audit until they are moved by the Graduate School around the sixth week of the following semester)
IUG – Credits will appear on both B.A.E. and M.A.E. transcripts
c. Six credits required for the BAE program are moved to the graduate transcript and “waived” as requirements for the
BAE degree. Students should understand that the degree audits must be manually manipulated by the Student Record
Secretary prior to graduation. The degree audits will not be always current.
d. The BAE degree requirements listed on this matrix is based on the 2006 Program.
e. AE 882 (or AE 897G) combined with AE 497 replaces AE 482 for MAE students
