Students who meet the College of Aviation admission criteria will be placed in their major by the College of Aviation. To begin pilot training, students not meeting these criteria must then complete a minimum of 14 credit hours from 8 of the courses listed below with a minimum of “C” in each course. Once the student meets these requirements, the student will be placed in the flight training courses by the College of Aviation Academic Advising Office.
