Bachelor of Science - Aviation

The aviation program at Mount Allison is one of only a few in Canada that allows students to earn an undergraduate degree that incorporates flight and ground school training. Aviation is offered through a partnership with Moncton Flight College (MFC), one of the leading flight training establishments in North America. The Bachelor of Science (Aviation) allows students to combine their flight training with in-depth studies in subjects related to the field of aviation in the Faculty of Science ― such as geography, environmental science, mathematics, physics, and computer science. Before students can start their flight training, they must complete their first year at Mount Allison. In first year students will take introductory courses in their chosen degree, either Science or Commerce. To begin flight training, students must: • have second-year standing (have earned a minimum of 24 credits) • obtain a Transport Canada Category 1 medical certificate • pass a formal English language proficiency test mandated by Transport Canada, and administered by MFC Training

Students will continue to take three courses per term on campus and ground school training, while one-on-one instructor training and flying takes place at the MFC Training campus. All Aviation students will: • complete more than 200 hours of flying

• receive hundreds of hours of ground training • learn about navigation, airplane instruments, aviation regulations, and weather
