The institute offers undergraduate degree programs for students who want to work in the aviation industry. It combines professional flight training with a traditional university education on a faith based campus in Texas. Students graduate with the skills needed for aviation careers.

The school offers a four year Bachelor of Science in Aviation Sciences degree. This undergraduate program gives students multiple options for aviation careers. They can serve in ground based roles or train to become professional pilots. The curriculum prepares graduates for numerous career paths within the aviation sector. The degree takes four years to complete.

Students may select the Aviation Sciences major with a Professional Pilot concentration. This track offers flight training for both airplane and helicopter operations.
