Aerospace/Aviation Sciences - Rotor-Wing Emphasis (B.S.)

at Southern Utah University

The Department of Aviation Sciences at Southern Utah University offers a Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) in Aerospace/Aviation with two emphasis areas to choose from: Rotor-Wing (helicopter) Pilot, and Fixed-Wing (airplane) Pilot. These emphasis areas share a common core of general aviation courses (59 credits) but offer distinct lab-related flight training courses (17 credits) leading to FAA certifications to operate rotor- or fixed-wing aircraft. Students earn FAA certifications/licenses at the Private and Commercial Pilot level. Students earn FAA Ratings in Instrument, CFI, and CFII. Specialized flight labs for the two Pilot specializations involve simulators and various aircraft which are housed at the Cedar City Airport.
