Overview

The Aeronautical Science-Flight degree at Florida Institute of Technology is available as either a flight or non-flight major. Choosing aeronautical science without flight provides a strong foundation in applied math and science for a career in a technical aspect of aviation, while Aeronautical Science—Flight prepares you for a career as a professional pilot.

Traditionally, graduates pursue a type rating as a new hire, and in most cases only then after building flight time as an instructor.

In addition, you have two other degree options:

Prepare for a career in military aviation and participate in Army ROTC

Specialize in air traffic control and be ready to apply to the FAA Academy upon graduation.
