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
