Bachelor's in Aviation Flight

California Baptist University (CBU) has steadily grown into a comprehensive university known for its rigorous academics and dedication to holistic student development. CBU offers a diverse array of undergraduate and graduate programs across various disciplines, including business, engineering, health sciences, and liberal arts. What sets CBU apart is its integration of faith-based values into its educational approach, fostering a supportive environment that encourages students to grow spiritually and intellectually. With a vibrant campus life, a focus on service-oriented learning, and a dedicated faculty, California Baptist University provides students with a well-rounded education that prepares them to excel in their chosen careers while nurturing a strong sense of purpose and community.

For many, flying is just a dream, but CBU can help make it a career. Students who have no prior flight experience can graduate from CBU's aviation flight program with the skills to be a pilot. All flight training is conducted in-house by CBU using our own flight instructors and fleet of university-owned aircraft. In addition to the flight training and ground courses, students develop an in-depth knowledge of meteorology, navigational aids, aircraft systems and crew resource management. In essence, they learn everything they need to function as a pilot. Generally, students can expect to graduate from CBU’s aviation flight program as a professional pilot with around 250–300 total hours of flight time. Flight training costs are in addition to CBU tuition and fees, but scholarships are sometimes available. In fall 2017, we gave $50,000 in aviation scholarships.
