Jacksonville University´s Aviation Program in the Davis College of Business educates and trains professional pilots, air traffic controllers and aviation executives. Our students can choose between two Bachelor of Science degrees, both accredited by the Aviation Accreditation Board International. Our one-of-a-kind partnership with Aerosim Flight Academy benefits our students with airline-oriented flight training and a direct career path to the airlines. Recognizing the highest academic standards, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) selected JU to educate future air traffic controllers under the Collegiate Training Initiative. Our powerful credentials combined with a solid foundation in business and management skills, will define you as a leader in your career of choice in aviation.
At the Davis Aviation Center, you can choose between two aviation majors and six career tracks:
