Due to the nature of instruction, capacity in the aviation flight major is limited, and admission to the major will be limited and selective for the 2025-2026 academic year. Aviation flight applicants who are admissible to the University will be prompted to complete a supplemental application for consideration to the major.
Supplemental Application Process
Fall 2025 aviation flight applicants who are admissible to the University will be admitted undecided to University College. After applying to the University, students must submit the Aviation Flight Supplemental Application for further consideration in aviation flight. Priority consideration is given to students who apply to the aviation flight major and have a complete application on file by the November 15 early action deadline.
Deadlines
- Students who apply to the aviation flight major and have a complete application on file by the November 15 early action deadline should submit the Aviation Flight Supplemental Application by December 2, 2024,for full consideration.
- Students who apply to the aviation flight major and have a complete application on file by the February 1 rolling admission deadline should submit the Aviation flight Supplemental Application by February 15, 2025,for consideration.
Students not selected for the aviation flight major will remain in University College, where they will work closely with dedicated advisors who are committed to helping students navigate their academic options and prepare for their future program of study. Because of the highly selective nature of the aviation flight major, opportunities to transfer into the major at a later time are not available.
How to Submit Your Supplemental Application
The Aviation Flight Supplemental Application consists of a brief application form and a required video response (3-5 minutes in length), addressing each of the following questions:
- Why are you interested in being a pilot?
- What experiences have you had that have given you insight into what is required to be successful as a pilot?
- What experiences have you had that will help you be successful as a pilot, including but not limited to: working in team environments, honing decision-making skills and developing communication skills?
You will record your video directly on the supplemental application. (Do not pre-record your video response for upload.) While your video must be recorded on the submission page, you will have unlimited opportunities to re-record your video.
