Interdisciplinary
B.Sc. (Aviation) Program
The B.Sc. (Aviation) major is for students wishing to obtain a university
degree while preparing for a career in the aviation industry. It is
offered in partnership with the
Moncton Flight College (MFC),
one of the premier flight training establishments in Canada. The major is an
interdisciplinary science program, featuring study in depth of subjects
that are relevant to aviation, including geography, mathematics and
physics, together with professional pilot training to an advanced level.
The program begins with first year 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. Before graduation students complete over 200 hours of
flying, hundreds of hours of ground training, and hold a Commercial Pilot
Licence (CPL) with multi-engine and instrument ratings. The option to
complete the integrated Airline Transport Pilot (IATP) course is also
available.
In consultation with the program coordinator, students select their
courses to provide additional depth in one of computer science, geography, mathematics or
physics and complete a minor for the B.Sc.
