Description
Return to: Academic Degree Programs The mission of the Aeronautical Sciences Program is to produce graduates who have the complete technical knowledge to pursue a career as a commercial pilot, with the opportunity to complete one of the following options: Air Traffic Control (under the FAA AT-CTI program), Flight Dispatcher certification or other aviation options under development. This degree has been developed to provide academic studies similar to those offered in the Aircraft Operations Bachelor of Science Degree, but without the requirement to complete any Part 141 ground training at Vaughn College or flight training under the Vaughn College partnership with a FAA certified Part 141 flight school. In other words, a student who wishes to pursue any Part 61 or Part 141 ground or flight certificates would be free to do so without Vaughn requirements. This also means that the student in the BS Aeronautical Sciences program would not be eligible for any relief under the RATP program from the minimum flying hours required for an Airline Transport Pilot certificate, which is currently 1500 hours. Pilot candidates would take the BAS program if, for example, they are: Students who wish to pursue actual flight training during their college studies, but want to do it on their own time, with their own financial resources, or, Students who were accepted to a military flight training and commissioning program, and who will be trained as pilots by the military. Program Objectives The program educational objectives are intended to produce versatile aviation graduates who: Are successful in their chosen career path. They will be able to obtain positions which require detailed technical knowledge and skills in the operation and management of aircraft. Pursue graduate study and professional education. Conduct themselves as responsible members of society through involvement in their community and engagement in their profession. Student Learning Outcomes The aeronautical sciences program learning outcomes are as follows. Graduates will be able to: Apply learning in mathematics, science, and applied sciences to aviation-related disciplines; Analyze and interpret aeronautical data; Work effectively on crews, and multi-disciplinary and diverse teams; Make professional and ethical decisions; Communicate effectively using both written and oral skills; Know that an aviator is a student for life, and pursue the desired knowledge relentlessly; Assess contemporary issues in aviation, and in any related fields of interest; Research, assimilate and display proficiency in the techniques, skills and technology of aeronautics; Assess the national and international aviation environment; Apply pertinent knowledge in identifying and solving problems; Apply knowledge of business sustainability to aviation issues.
