Aviation Bachelor of Business Administration degree

About

Successful pilots and business people have a lot in common â€” they are skilled communicators, develop plans for success, assess conditions, and anticipate change. Take your passion for flight to new heights with UFV Aviation's Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA).

You get to graduate with a bachelor's degree, private pilot's license, commercial pilot's license, and several ratings that enable you to fly multiple types of aircraft in varying conditions. Your pilot's license is in accordance with ICAO standards, meaning you can fly domestically and internationally.

Throughout the program, you take a combination of flight training, aviation theory, and academic courses.

You complete your flight training at an external flight training provider.

In your first year, you earn your private and commercial pilot's licenses; in your third and fourth year, you fly multi-engine aircraft, master instrumentation, and specialize with either a Heavy Jet Transport or Professional Flight Instructor option.

You also build an academic foundation through UFV courses in business and economics supplemented by courses in science, English, social science, and the humanities to prepare to assume management responsibilities in the aerospace industry.

Career

According to Boeing's Pilot and Technician Outlook, between now and 2038, demand for pilots will grow, as airlines across the globe expand their fleets and older pilots retire. The largest growth in pilot demand is projected in the Asia Pacific region, with a need for 266,000 new pilots. Europe will need 148,000 pilots, North America 212,000, Latin America 54,000, the Middle East 68,000, Africa 29,000, and Russia/Central Asia 27,000.

After graduation, you may fly planes for corporate travel or charter flights for one of Canada's 800 on-demand aviation service providers. Or you may work as a flight instructor, medevac pilot, airline courier, or travel tourism pilot.

Once you have flight hours under your belt, you may fly jumbo jets for major airlines, serve as a corporate jet captain, or become something more unique like an aerial fire ranger. You can also leverage your administrative skills to pursue a career as an airport
