The Bachelor of Science in Professional Pilot at Utah Valley University prepares students for employment with airlines as well as private and corporate operators. FAA flight training is required as part of the curriculum and graduates leave with a minimum Commercial Pilot Certificate, with the option of additional certificates up through Multi-Engine Instructor that can be used as electives.
UVU graduates are employed by U.S. and international airlines, cargo carriers, corporate flight departments, and many others.
According to Boeing, over 600,000 new commercial pilots and 96,000 corporate pilots will be needed worldwide over the next 20 years.
A Bachelor degree is preferred by the major airlines and will provide an edge in seeking other professional flying opportunities.
Industry experience, previous college courses, and previously earned FAA pilot certificates & ratings required by our curriculum may be granted credit upon successful evaluation.
