UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS
The Bachelor of Science with a Major in Aviation is designed for students who want to take the first step toward a career in Aviation. Aviation curriculum is closely mapped to the needs and demands of the aviation industry and to OU's general education guideline. The OU Extended Campus School of Aviation Studies offers a Bachelor of Science degree with four aviation concentrations. If you're interested in a minor in Air Traffic Contol, learn more here.
If you’re planning to choose the Professional Pilot or Aviation Management – Flying concentration, you should apply today to ensure a spot. Although applications for fall are open until November 1, applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The first 50 students to submit an application AND pay the $250 enrollment deposit will be considered for admission. Once all 50 new-student slots are full, applications will be moved to a waiting list. Students who are accepted can expect to begin flying their freshman year!
