About Associate of Science - Aviation Maintenance Science
Program Description
At the heart of every flight carried out by every commercial, private, or military aircraft is the work of a professional aviation maintenance expert. Without the devotion of these very special people, the air travel system would cease to function. The demand for degreed aircraft maintenance technicians in the aviation/aerospace world has never been greater than it is today. The Aviation Maintenance Science (AMS) program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University produces these aviation professionals, which are regarded as the best in the world.
The Aviation Maintenance Science associate’s degree is made up of general education courses, technical courses, and laboratories, which lead to the attainment of the coveted FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanic’s certification. The degree is composed of 66 total credit hours, 18 hours of general education coursework, and 48 hours of airframe and powerplant technical courses. The requirements of the Associate’s degree are designed to flow seamlessly into the AMS Bachelor of Science degree.
Credit will be granted to any student who enters the university already in possession of their A&P certification. International certifications, which may be equivalent to the Airframe and Powerplant certification, will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and, if approved, may be used for academic credit only.
