The University
of Oklahoma Aviation Program prides
itself on being one of the best schools
for students looking for quality flight
instruction and a bachelor’s degree
from a nationally known institution. As
part of the University’s College
of Continuing Education, the Aviation
Department has provided
quality aviation education since 1947.
About OU Aviation
Through programs offered by OU’s
Department of Aviation, you
will be provided with an excellent foundation
that will prepare you for professional
aviation. In
addition to being very student–centered,
OU also has one of the best safety records
in the nation. This means students train
in the safest environment possible.
 Additionally, thirteen
new Piper Warrior III airplanes have
recently been purchased (University
OUTREACH -
February 2005) for the OU Aviation
Department. The planes will replace its
almost 30-year-old fleet. The new single-engine
planes feature cutting-edge technology,
such as Global Positioning Systems, that
students need to learn to use to be competitive
in the aviation industry. Two of the
planes will utilize the Avidyne Entegra
Integrated Flight Deck. These “glass
cockpit” configurations
feature flight instruments and gauges on
two large, television-like screens.
Three Degree Options to Choose From 
The University
of Oklahoma Aviation Department offers
a Bachelor of Science Degree with three
concentrations to choose from:
- Professional Pilot -
concentration prepares students through
a multi-engine, commercial rating while
also requiring an additional communication
course, Turbine Transition, and Crew Resource
Management.
- Aviation Management -
concentration trains students to be commercial
pilots while also including a general
business minor. Students can use their
free electives to gain additional flight
experience if they so desire.
- Non-Flying Aviation
Management - concentration
prepares those students who do not
wish to enter the industry as a pilot,
but who wish to meet the growing
demands for management positions
within the aviation industry. The
FAA states there are five non-flying
aviation jobs for every one pilot in
the sky. This option offers a general
business minor upon completion.
All three of the degree concentrations
have a strong business focus to prepare
students to function efficiently in the
business world of aviation or other related
jobs. Learn more about the OU's
Aviation Degree Options.

We now offer minor
options in Aviation. Options are
available for Single-Engine Commercial
Pilot, Multi-Engine Commercial Pilot,
