Flight Area Courses


A Private Pilot Certificate, Instrument Rating, and a Commercial Certificate with Single and Multi-Engine Ratings are required for any BT or AT flight option. In addition to tuition, flight lab fees apply to all flight training courses (see Department of Aviation Charges ). Students are required to produce proof of citizenship (passport or birth certificate) and 1st Class FAA medical with Student Pilot Certificate prior to entry into the Flight program, or petition the department for a waiver.

For all non-U.S. citizens planning to receive flight training as part of their degree program, an additional government application to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which includes an FBI background check, is required. Contact the Department of Aviation for more details.

Status as an aviation major is provisional until the student demonstrates satisfactory academic and performance skills. Students must maintain minimum GPA of 2.5 in all aviation coursework and 2.25 cumulative overall. Flight students will be reviewed at the end of each training module, and must be approved by the department in order to continue in the flight degree program. This and other program requirements and procedures can be referenced in the department student handbook.
 

Note:


Aviation electives are to be chosen in consultation with an advisor. These electives are added to the required core classes that make up the total hours required by the major.

Credit by exam will only be approved for new students transferring in with previous FAA certificates subject to departmental approval.
