Aviation Meteorology – Flight, B.S. ______________
major Code: 7105 Degree awarded: Bachelor of Science
age restriction: N admission status: undergraduate
Delivery mode/s: classroom, flight Location/s: main campus
This program prepares the student for a career as a professional
pilot with a strong meteorological and physical science background.
Graduates will achieve at least commercial pilot, instrument,
multiengine ratings. A student completing the program also meets
the requirements of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management for
employment by the federal government as a meteorologist. Students
are afforded significant flexibility in career choices on graduation.
On completion of the first two years of the curriculum plus
HUM 2051, a 3-credit humanities core course and a social science
elective with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher, the student
may petition for the award of the Associate of Science in Aviation
Meteorology–Flight.
