Students interested in Professional Pilot-Airplane, Professional Pilot-Helicopter, or Aviation Management-Flying concentrations are encouraged to apply to the University of Oklahoma when the application opens. Interested students can only apply for the fall term.
We highly recommend you come join us for a tour of the university as well as an information session and tour of our aviation facilities. The School of Aviation hosts information sessions at the Airport Complex on specific Fridays scheduled for your special visits. Consult the OU Admissions and Recruiting web page for specific dates and times.
The College of Atmospheric & Geographic Sciences offers a bachelor’s degree with a major in Aviation that can help you achieve your career goals. The Bachelor of Science with a Major in Aviation is designed for students who want to take the first step toward a career in Aviation.
OU offers five concentrations for students to consider:
If you’re planning to choose the Professional Pilot or Aviation Management – Flying concentration, you need to apply by the November 1st deadline. Flight major applications are accepted during the fall term application timeframe only. Due to the limited number of flight slots OU has each fall, the demand for one of these slots is great.
If you are interested in an Aviation Management – Non-Flying or Air Traffic Management concentration, we encourage you to submit your application to OU for priority admission. These concentrations are not limited by space and are open to all students, including freshmen and transfer students.
Here are just a few reasons why OU is a smart and affordable choice for your aviation degree:
Only students accepted into the Aviation Management – Flying Concentration or Professional Pilot Concentration AND get a flying spot will be able to fly. Unfortunately, students in other non-flying aviation or aerospace programs will NOT be able to fly.
We invite you to learn more about the School of Aviation by exploring our academic top-five list.
Incoming freshmen interested in applying to our Professional Pilot—Airplane, Professional Pilot—Helicopter, or Aviation Management – Flying concentration programs must apply to OU during their high school senior year to be considered for a spot within the program. Aviation cannot guarantee up front which semester you will start flying.
Because of the limited number of flight slots each fall, as well as the very competitive nature of the process to receive a slot, OU maintains a waitlist for these spaces.
Once accepted into the flight program, your next item of responsibility is to complete the Pilot Candidacy Form. The Pilot Candidacy Form will be sent to accepted applicants electronically.
