The Program
The Aviation major is an interdisciplinary science program, featuring study in depth of subjects that are relevant to aviation, including Geography and Environment, Mathematics and Physics, together with professional pilot training to an advanced level. The program begins with a first year of courses taken at the Mount Allison campus in Sackville. In following years, while continuing to take courses in Sackville, students also complete an intensive flight training program at the MFC campus in Dieppe, N.B., including ground school and flying instruction.
