Western Â鶹´«Ã½Ó¦Óà University's aviation flight science program emphasizes intellectual as well as technical competencies and is geared toward educating captains—not just training pilots. Because WMU's College of Aviation is more than a flight school, students will study general education subjects, the basic sciences, in addition to aircraft systems, crew resource management, advanced aerodynamics, professional flight, airline operations, management and administration, global navigation and international flight. As an aviation flight science student at WMU, you will benefit from the full university experience: collegiate sporting events, more than 300 registered student organizations, and the benefits of attending a top 100 U.S. public university.

When it's time to take to the skies, you'll fly out of Battle Creek's W.K. Kellogg Airport at one of the nation’s top flight schools. Begin your training in the private pilot course on the second longest runway in the state and the third busiest airport in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó¦ÓÃ. The airport is also home to an Air National Guard base, WACO Aircraft Corporation, the Kellogg and Eaton Companies Corporate Flight Departments, and Duncan Aviation. As your skills increase, you'll grow accustomed to flying into and out of a wide variety of airports, representing one of the best aviation schools in the country. Further benefits include flying in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó¦ÓÃ, where you will learn to handle a broad range of temperatures and weather systems.
