Program details
Overview
Aviation at Mount Allison University combines professional flight training with undergraduate study in Arts, Commerce, or Science, leading to a bachelor's degree alongside a Commercial Pilot Licence, a multi-engine class rating, and a Group 1 instrument rating. Students complete their first year of academic coursework on the Sackville campus before combining on-campus courses with flight instruction delivered at MFC Training in Dieppe from second year onward, working through more than 200 hours of flying plus substantial ground training. Depending on the chosen track, students follow an arts major, a commerce core focused on accounting, finance, marketing, and management, or a science major built around subjects such as physics, mathematics, and computer science alongside aviation-specific study. Entry to flight training requires a Transport Canada Category 1 medical certificate and demonstrated English language proficiency. The program is structured for students who want a conventional degree paired directly with commercial pilot qualifications rather than flight training alone. It suits those aiming for careers as airline, corporate, charter, or cargo pilots, as well as military aviation, flight instruction, air traffic control, or airport management.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Aviation's programme page sets no academic prerequisites of its own for a Bachelor of Science and defers to Mount Allison's general admission requirements. There, decisions weigh the whole applicant — academic record, leadership, level of commitment, and potential for personal growth — with the specific courses and grades required varying by the applicant's province or country and prior education. Applicants whose language of instruction was not English must meet Mount Allison's English proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 with at least 20 in each of Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing (PTE Academic 60 with no score below 51, CAEL CE 70 with no part below 60, Cambridge English B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 with no band below 169, and Duolingo English Test 110 are also accepted). Three years of Canadian secondary schooling, or 30+ credit hours at an English-medium post-secondary institution, can also satisfy it; applicants short only on language may receive conditional admission through the university's English Summer Pathway Program. Flight training, which begins around second year, additionally requires second-year standing (a minimum of 24 credits), a Transport Canada Category 1 medical certificate, and a pass on the English-language proficiency test that Transport Canada mandates for pilots.
