The Department of Aviation offers six different
majors in two degree programs. The Bachelor of
Business Administration degree may be earned
in either Aviation Management or Airport Management,
and is granted by the College of Business and
Public Administration. The Bachelor of Science
in Aeronautics may be earned in Commercial Aviation,
Air Traffic Control, Flight Education or Aviation
Systems Management, and is granted by the John
D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences.
The Business degree is fully accredited by the
American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business
(AACSB). The Commercial Aviation and Air Traffic
Control majors are fully accredited by the Aviation
Accreditation Board International.
A Rotorcraft-Helicopter option is available in
the Commercial Aviation program. This option
is supported by a full scholarship for both tuition
and flying costs, and is available through the
U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC).
Students interested in this Army program should
contact the Military Science Department located
at the UND Armory Building or the UND Aerospace
Student Services office located at Odegard Hall,
Room 259.
Cooperative Education and Internship programs
are offered by the Department of Aviation, which
encourages students to obtain on-the-job experience
while continuing their academic education. Opportunities
for semester-long cooperative internships are
available at
major airports, general aviation manufacturers,
airlines, and weather modification research operations.
Students can apply four elective credits through
the cooperative internship program toward their
graduation requirements. At the same time, students
can obtain valuable on-the-job experience to
supplement their formal education.
Career services include the UND Career Planning
and Placement Center, the John D. Odegard School
of Aerospace Science’s Student Services
Center, and an industry and alumni career database,
which is maintained by JDOSAS. In addition, representatives
from the aviation industry, including many airlines,
the Federal Aviation Administration, and Transport
Canada come to UND for career fairs and interviewing
sessions.
AVIATION DEPARTMENTAL POLICIES
Declaring a Major or Minor
All aviation students are encouraged to declare
an aviation major or minor as soon as practicable.
In order to declare an aviation major or minor,
students must have completed 24 college credits
and have earned minimum grade point averages (GPAs),
cumulative and institutional, of 2.50 on a 4.00
scale. In order to take 300-level and above aviation
courses, students must have declared an aviation
major or minor, or have received special permission
from the instructor of the course.
Minimum Grade Point Average (GPA)
Each non-transfer student enrolling in Aviation
101, Survey of Flight, or Aviation 102, Introduction
to Aviation, must have a minimum ACT composite
score of 21, or a combined SAT score of 990, or
must have completed 12 credits of university level
coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.50. Each transfer
student enrolling in Aviation 101, Survey of Flight,
or Aviation 102, Introduction to Aviation, must
have a minimum GPA of 2.50. All students must maintain
minimum grade point averages (GPAs), cumulative
and institutional, of 2.50 in order to enroll in
200-level and above aviation courses. All students,
who have enrolled in aviation courses and who fall
below the minimum required GPA, are subject to
withdrawal from the courses by the Aviation department.
Attendance
Aviation students are required to regularly attend
all academic aviation classes in accordance with
the intent and spirit of the policy set forth by
the University of North Dakota. Attendance is mandatory
with respect to satisfying ground school requirements
as established by 14 CFR Part 141, Appendix B -
paragraph 3, Appendix D - paragraph 3, Appendix
F - paragraph 3, and Appendix G - paragraph 3.
Failure to meet these attendance requirements will
disqualify a student for FAA pilot or flight instructor
certification. The following courses are 14 CFR
Part 141 approved: Avit 102, 221, 222, 323, 324,
325, 414, and 415.
Lesson
Completion
Students enrolled in flight courses are required
to finish those flight lessons prescribed to each
individual course in order to complete the course.
Failure to complete the flight lessons within an
acceptable time frame, stated in an applicable
course syllabus or Training Course Outline (TCO),
will result in an unsatisfactory grade.
TRANSFER OF COLLEGE CREDIT/ CERTIFICATES AND/OR
RATINGS
The University of North Dakota’s Department
of Aviation bases its flight education philosophy
on a four-year university degree. Consequently,
students who have obtained flight certificates/ratings,
with or without college credit, may not have
satisfied the academic and flight requirements
contained within the aviation major that they
are pursuing at the University of North Dakota.
All aviation courses subject to being transferred
to UND, flight or non-flight, are reviewed by
the Aviation Department for transferability.
It is the responsibility of the student to initiate
a review process of transfer courses. For questions
about the transferability of courses, please
contact the Aviation Department, Student Services,
at 1-800-258-1525 or write to: Student Services,
John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences,
P.O. Box 9007, Grand Forks, North Dakota 58202-9007.
Students may e-mail UND Aerospace at: flyund@aero.und.nodak.edu.
Please refer to http://www.aero.und.edu/student-services/992000flightcoursepolicy.php3 for more information on departmental and transfer
policies.
UND FLIGHT TRAINING POLICY
Regardless
of academic major, once a student has enrolled
at UND, all subsequent flight
training
required as part of a student’s course
of study, must be completed in residence at UND.
Flight training completed away from UND, which
is required under a specific curriculum, will
not be granted credit for the corresponding UND
course, and the student will be subject to dismissal
from the program. The Aviation Department does
not allow concurrent enrollment in any flight
courses.
MEDICAL CERTIFICATES
A
current medical certificate is required for
all students prior to beginning flight training.
The physical examination must be performed
by an M.D. who is a designated FAA medical
examiner.
There are three types of medical certificates—Class
I, Class II, and Class III. Students are advised
to get a Class II certificate if they are planning
to pursue a career as a professional pilot.
Any physical limitation which may alter career
plans should become evident at that time. Students
over the age of 35 should consider obtaining
a Class I medical certificate.
Students are encouraged to make plans to obtain
their medical certificates six months before
they will begin flight training at UND. This
will ensure that any problems can be addressed
before the student enrolls in a flight training
course.
ALCOHOL
AND DRUG PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
The
John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences
is committed to the highest aviation safety
standards. In accordance with the School’s
safety “culture,” a “no tolerance” policy
regarding the use of drugs and alcohol has
been implemented. As a result, all students
taking part in flight training at UND will
be required to participate in a random drug
testing program. This program runs continuously
throughout the year for all flight students.
Please refer to http://www.aero.und.edu/student-services/medicalcertdrugpro.php3 for more information on medical certificates
and the drug testing program.
AVIATION DEPARTMENT, PROGRAM, OR COURSE-SPECIFIC
FEES
Flight costs are not included in university tuition
or fees. They are determined on an hourly basis
for aircraft and flight instruction, and are
in addition to tuition, fees and any other incidental
expenses which are normally charged during registration.
Students enrolling in flight courses are required
to deposit money into their flight accounts on
a regular basis to cover their fight costs. Deposits
should be in at least $500 increments. Students
will not be permitted to fly if their minimum
balance drops below $200. It is the responsibility
of each student to have a known source of income
prior to enrolling in any flight training-related
curriculum.
A Laptop Computer Fee of $400 per semester ($800
per academic year) will be charged to all aviation
students.
An Altitude Chamber Fee of $150 will be charged
to aviation students who use the altitude chamber
as part of Aviation 309, Flight Physiology.
An Air Traffic Control program fee or course
fee will be charged to aviation students who
declare Air Traffic Control as their major or
enroll in certain classes.
Additional John D. Odegard School of Aerospace
Sciences program fees or course fees may be charged
to aviation students enrolled in any of the aviation
degree programs.
Students are cautioned to note that costs are
subject to change, and that they should consult
with their academic advisor, student services
advisors, or the applicable program cost sheets
for the latest information. Please refer to http://www.aero.und.edu/student-services/projprocost.php3 for more information on program fees.
FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION
Students are encouraged to explore all financial
aid options as outlined in the General Information
section of this catalog. In addition to these
forms of aid, the Aviation department provides
endowed and non-endowed scholarships for qualifying
students each year. All aviation students, including
freshmen and new transfer students, are eligible
to apply. Forms are available at the beginning
of each fall semester from the Aviation Department.
Applications for scholarships are due early during
the fall semester; therefore, students are encouraged
to pick up their applications as soon as they
arrive for fall classes.
Financial aid is available only for those flight
courses required as part of a particular curriculum.
Students are encouraged to obtain additional
ratings, endorsements, or experience; however,
they are individually responsible for the expenses
incurred.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
The
Aviation Management curriculum is offered to
those students whose career objectives are aimed
toward the management and operation of the flight-related
activities of the aviation industry. Emphasis
is placed on applying modern management practices
to the airline, airport, and general aviation
management professions. A Commercial Pilot Certificate,
with instrument and multi-engine ratings, is
required.
The Airport Management curriculum
is offered to those students seeking administrative
positions
with companies specializing in or related to
the ground activities of the aviation industry.
Foundational aspects of the general aviation
and air carrier segments, as well as the overall
aviation industry will be studied in-depth.
However, sufficient flexibility in courses
will allow the student to concentrate in a
particular area of the industry such as general
aviation operations, airline management, airport
administration, or corporate aviation management. Completion of either Aviation 101, Survey of
Flight, or Aviation 102, Introduction to Aviation,
is required.
The Commercial Aviation curriculum
is designed for a variety of flight-related careers.
Commercial Aviation combines a solid background
in aviation with a Certified Flight Instructor
Certificate, including appropriate ratings. This
major provides a student with the educational
foundation necessary for entry-level pilot positions
within the aviation industry. A Commercial Pilot
Certificate, with instrument and multi-engine
ratings, plus a Certified Flight Instructor Certificate,
with airplane and instrument ratings, are both
required. In addition, Regional Jet (RJ) training
or Advanced Transport Category aircraft training
is required to graduate with this major.
The Flight Education curriculum is designed for
students interested in aviation education as
a profession. Flight Education combines a solid
background in aviation and vocational education
with a Certified Flight Instructor Certificate,
including appropriate ratings. This major provides
a student with the educational foundation necessary
to teach aviation courses in a vocational setting
or community college, or to pursue graduate study.
Students interested in teaching at the college
level should obtain a master’s degree and
a terminal doctoral degree in aviation or other
complementary discipline. A Commercial Pilot
Certificate, with instrument and multi-engine
ratings, plus a Certified Flight Instructor Certificate,
with airplane, instrument, and multi-engine ratings,
are both required.
The Air Traffic Control curriculum is designed
to place students directly into the exciting
career field of Air Traffic Control. In addition
to the primary curriculum, this program requires
a second field of study. Completion of either
Aviation 101, Survey of Flight, or Aviation 102,
Introduction to Aviation, is required.
The Aviation Systems Management curriculum is
designed to be the concluding half of a two-plus-two
degree. The objective is to allow students with
two-year degrees in aviation maintenance, avionics,
electronics, dispatch or other aerospace support
services to complete a bachelor’s degree
with an emphasis in management. Completion of
either Aviation 101, Survey of Flight, or Aviation
102, Introduction to Aviation, is required.
Note: The Aviation faculty members
highly recommend that Aviation students use the
elective credits to pursue a minor or a second
major in another discipline.
