(A collaborative program with the University of North Dakota Aerospace Foundation)
The aviation program trains students to excel in the increasingly sophisticated and competitive profession of aviation. Extensive coursework in aviation, liberal education, and other disciplines provides the graduate with the skills for success. The University of North Dakota Aerospace Foundation, an internationally recognized collegiate flight training center, provides aircraft, simulators, flight instructors, and aviation course materials under contract.
Only full-time students (taking 12 credits or more) may enroll in flight training courses; others must obtain consent from the aviation program manager. Pilot certification courses include private pilot, commercial pilot, instrument rating, certified flight instructor, instrument flight instructor, multi-engine rating, and multi-engine flight instructor. Non-certificate courses include conventional gear (tail wheel) operations, advanced conventional gear operations, and natural resources/law enforcement applications. Students enrolling with previous flight training or experience may receive college credit after a practical test is administered by the aviation program manager or an appointed check pilot. Aviation students attend all classes on the UMC campus. Flight training is conducted at the UMC flight training center located at the Crookston Municipal Airport, three miles north of the University.
The aviation program includes flight courses for which students incur costs over and above regular tuition rates. These costs vary and depend on the courses taken, as well as the aircraft and flight instructor time used. The projected costs for flight courses can be found at www.umcrookston.edu/flighttrainingcosts.
Depending upon career interest, students may choose from two areas of emphases: agricultural or law enforcement aviation. Two other options available are the business management major with a business aviation emphasis or natural resources major with a natural resources aviation emphasis.
Admission requirement: No medical or physical limitation that would prevent the student from holding a medical certificate class 1, or 2, or 3.
