Aeronautics, B.S.
Saint Louis University’s Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology was the first federally certified flight school in the nation, founded by Oliver L. Parks in 1927. Today, Saint Louis University is the only Jesuit university with a flight program, making us a premier institution for flight education. This Jesuit heritage means students learn to make ethical decisions that contribute to their personal and professional goals and allow them to enrich the community in which students live and work.
Students learn to fly in some of the world’s most advanced light aircraft: the Diamond DA-20, Cirrus SR20 with Garmin Perspective and the Piper Seminole. Advanced students further their studies of larger aircraft in a state-of-the-art Canadair Regional Jet-700 simulator. Students receive a holistic education that includes foundational and advanced courses in flight science and aviation management rounded out by the traditional core classes and elective courses.
Additional program highlights include:
- Saint Louis University is the only Jesuit university in the United States to offer aviation science degrees, and students are offered a much more well-rounded curriculum to educate the "whole person."
- The flight training is conducted out of St. Louis Downtown Airport which is located between Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and Scott Air Force Base, providing aviation students with a complex and dynamic environment to learn to fly in.
- The Department of Aviation Science has been granted a Letter of Authorization from the FAA making graduates eligible for a maximum reduction of 500 hours towards the 1,500-hour requirement for the Airline Transport Pilot Certificate.
Curriculum Overview
The flight portion of SLU's Bachelor of Science in Flight Science curriculum is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under Part 141. Graduates of the program will have earned the following FAA certificates and ratings: private pilot certificate, instrument rating, and commercial pilot certificate with single and multi-engine ratings.
Two concentrations are offered as part of the major: flight science and aviation management.
Flight Science Concentration
Students enrolled in SLU's flight science concentration are encouraged to diversify their educational experience and explore areas outside of their major.
Aviation Management Concentration
The goal of SLU's aviation management concentration is to not only prepare graduates to manage aviation operations but also to prepare them as socially responsible leaders who have a strong foundation in technical skills and are equipped with sufficient breadth of experience in liberal arts and sciences to make a difference in both their professional and personal lives.
The aviation management concentration places a strong emphasis on the safety and business aspects of aviation. From air carrier to manufacturing to airport management, the aviation management curriculum includes the necessary coursework and experience to serve the business and safety needs in aviation.
The aviation management concentration is offered as a residential concentration (on-campus) as well as a distance concentration (online). The concentrations are similar in course content and quality with distance concentration geared toward the working professional.
Online Option – Aviation Management
Students who are unable to attend class in St. Louis may wish to consider the distance option for the aviation management concentration. In partnership with the Saint Louis University School for Professional Studies, the online aviation management concentration offers the same aviation coursework taught by the same faculty as the on-campus concentration. Non-aviation coursework is provided by the School for Professional Studies, a pioneer in distance education at Saint Louis University.
The online aviation management concentration maintains the same level of academic rigor and expectations of the on-campus program. The online aviation management concentration is especially well-suited for military personnel and dependents, including retirees receiving G.I. benefits.
Reduced Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Minimums
Saint Louis University has been granted approval to provide a transcript endorsement certifying graduates for a 250-hour or 500-hour reduction towards the ATP Certificate for the Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics with a major in flight science or aviation management. To qualify for this reduction, students must complete 30 credits of approved coursework to be eligible for the 250-hour reduction, or complete 60 credits of approved coursework to be eligible for the 500-hour reduction.
Careers
Benefits of SLU's flight science concentration include several internship and career opportunities. Parks College's Department of Aviation Science provides valuable internship opportunities with Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, Trans States Airlines, JetBlue and other carriers. Other corporate internships are also available. These internships are highly competitive.
SLU's flight science concentration prepares graduates to begin their path in the aviation industry leading to a career as a professional pilot in the airline, corporate and military sectors. After earning their flight instructor certificates, graduates who do not enter a military career track typically seek a flight instructor position to develop their experience for one–three years at which time students are qualified for a position with a regional airline.
The aviation management concentration prepares graduates for entry-level positions within the aviation and space industries, and/ or government agencies. Career opportunities for graduates include: management and supervisory positions with commercial airlines, the aircraft/aerospace industry, airports and governmental agencies, as well as positions as contract negotiators, budget analyst, project administrators, personnel directors and positions in sales, marketing and advertising.
Restricted ATP Rule:
Under the Institutional Authority Program, students who graduate from Saint Louis University are eligible for a transcript endorsement leading to a restricted ATP certificate with either 1,000 or 1,250 hours of flight experience depending on the number of approved credits completed. This also allows students to qualify for the ATP certification at the age of 21 instead of having to wait until age 23. Students who graduate from unapproved institutions require 1,500 hours of flight experience prior to ATP certification.
Students completing the flight science concentration or minor are eligible to participate in one of the "pipeline" or "pathway" programs that Parks College participates in with the following airlines:
- Airline Pathway Program (AP3) – ExpressJet Airlines
- Pilot Pipeline Program – Envoy Air, Inc.
- Aviation Career Pipeline Interview Program – Republic Airline
- Aviators Program - A Professional Pilot Career Pipeline – Trans States Airlines
- CFI Cadet Program – Mesa Airlines

It is strongly encouraged that applicants undergo a class I medical examination to ascertain that they are currently capable of passing the medical examination required of a commercial airline pilot.
This physical examination is an absolute prerequisite for flight training and should be taken prior to the student’s arrival on campus. For specific information regarding the examination, visit the FAA online at https://www.faa.gov/pilots/amelocator/.
DA20-C1 Pre-admission Flight Course Student Limitations: Due to safety considerations and aircraft operational limitations, students weighing more than 250 lbs. may be denied training in Saint Louis University aircraft. Specifically, any student that weighs more than 250 lbs. must demonstrate to the Chief or Assistant Chief Instructor that they are capable of meeting the following safety requirements while seated in the pilot seat with the safety belt fastened:
- Must be able to fully deflect the flight controls.
- Must be able to reach the rudder pedal adjustment handle by hand.
- Must not weigh more than 285 lbs.
Student pilots are required to obtain a student pilot certificate prior to solo flight. A student pilot certificate can be applied for with the assistance of the student’s flight instructor.
Prior to beginning flight training for the private pilot certificate, instrument rating, the commercial pilot certificate and multi-engine rating, students are required to meet Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requirements.
- For U.S. citizens, the TSA requires flight schools to verify a student’s citizenship. This requirement may be met by presenting a current U.S. passport or an official copy of your birth certificate with a government-issued photo ID to your instructor during your initial flight slot.
- For non-U.S. citizens, the TSA requires a background check and TSA approval prior to commencing flight training. For more information on this process, contact the Department of Aviation Science or reference flightschoolcandidates.gov.
Additionally, non-U.S. citizens will be evaluated for their listening comprehension and spoken ability in addition to meeting regular English requirements. Prior to commencing flight instruction, special training will be required for those students found deficient in this evaluation.
All applications are thoroughly reviewed with the highest degree of individual care and consideration to all credentials that are submitted.

All flight training must be completed at Saint Louis University. Students with prior flight experience or certification will be evaluated for proficiency at the corresponding flight certification level. Students who do not hold the Private Pilot certificate upon starting the Flight Science concentration or minor are required to take FSCI 1150 Flight 1 (0,3 cr) and FSCI 1550 Flight 2 (0,3 cr). Those students who currently hold the Private Pilot certificate are required to take FSCI 1560 Flight 2 Transition (0-1 cr).
Global Flight Science Option
A majority of countries across the globe adhere to either Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) standards for certification of flight crews. By preparing students to meet both FAA and EASA knowledge requirements, the Global Flight Science Option intends to prepare students for professional flight careers in most countries across the world. Following the freshman year in Madrid, students arrive in St. Louis for the sophomore, junior and senior year. While in St. Louis, students work toward FAA flight ratings including the Private, Instrument and Commercial Multi-Engine pilot. Upon graduation from the Global Flight option in St. Louis, students have the option of returning to Madrid or other global regions for additional transition training leading to international certification.
While in Madrid, students will enroll in ground school coursework and an introduction to European aviation standards and regulations. All coursework is delivered in English while students experience the diversity of a major European metropolitan area. The Global Flight Science option provides the student with a multicultural experience in preparation for careers as globally qualified flight crewmembers.

Continuation Standards
A student may remain academically eligible to continue coursework in the department’s academic concentrations by maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.00 or the equivalent of a letter grade of C. Any student receiving a single C-, D, F, or U grade in a course with an ASCI or FSCI prefix that is required for graduation in an Aviation Management or Flight Science concentration or minor will be required to repeat the course in which the C-, D, F, or U grade was received. If the course is a prerequisite to another course in the Aviation Management or Flight Science concentration, the student will be required to repeat the course in which the C-, D, F, or U grade was received. The student will not be allowed to progress into the subsequent course until a grade of C is achieved in the prerequisite course.
Students enrolled in the Flight Science minor are allowed two (2) attempts to earn a grade of C or better in any of the flight courses that are part of the academic concentration. A student receiving a C-, D, F, or U grade in a repeated course is subject to dismissal from the program.
Students enrolled in the Flight Science concentration or minor must maintain an overall GPA of 2.00 to maintain eligibility for flight training. If a student's GPA falls below 2.00, that student will not be eligible to enroll in a flight course in subsequent semesters until the student's GPA is at 2.00 or higher.
An appeal of a grade, progression in the concentration or minor, or dismissal from the concentration or minor may be made in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Department of Aviation Science Student Appeal Process, a copy of which can be obtained from the department chairperson or from the Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology Office of the Dean.
Students should be aware that situations such as those described above could jeopardize one’s planned graduation date due to the manner in which courses are scheduled each academic year.
Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment unless otherwise noted.
Courses and milestones designated as critical (marked with !) must be completed in the semester listed to ensure a timely graduation. Transfer credit may change the roadmap.
This roadmap should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor/mentor each semester. Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.
