About Bachelor of Science - Aviation Maintenance Science
Program Description
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Bachelor of Science in Aviation Maintenance degree program is designed for students who want to increase the value of their aviation maintenance technician skills to provide wider opportunities for career advancement. This program aims to provide not only the four-year degree to complement the skills but a specific focus.
A typical first year includes general education courses like English Composition, Psychology, and Humanities, in addition to foundational course work such as Tools, Materials and Processes, Aircraft Familiarization and Regulations, College Mathematics for Aviation, and Fundamentals of Electricity.
Students may then choose from among four areas of concentration:
- Flight: for those students who wish to combine a maintenance background with the qualifications of a commercial pilot.
- Maintenance Management: for those who wish to use their maintenance skills as a platform for advancing into a management position in one of the many aviation maintenance environments.
- Safety Science: this area of concentration combines both industrial and aviation-specific safety courses which prepare students for a rewarding career path.
- Avionics Cybertechnology and Security: this cutting-edge area of concentration will prepare students to answer the importance of aerospace connectivity and data security.
Each area of concentration is designed to complement the FAA’s Airframe and Powerplant certification, which collectively serve to bolster students’ academic credentials. Students can obtain additional industry recognized certifications through the minor in Avionics Line Maintenance. Through this program students can test for the FCC General Radio Telephone Operators License (GROL) and the NCATT Aircraft Electronics Technician (AET) certificate. Both further help students integrate themselves into the workforce.
Courses taken in the Aviation Maintenance Science Department lead to a student being approved for the A&P certification exams. Credit will be granted for any student who enters ERAU already in possession of the A&P certification.
