Programs of Study
The Institute of Aviation offers a B.S. in Aviation Human Factors. This program of study focuses on aircraft safety, accident prevention, and human factors psychology; the core curriculum is a mixture of flight and psychology courses. Through the flight courses, students may earn their private pilot's certificate, commercial pilot's certificate, instrument rating, and multi-engine rating. The psychology courses provide the students with an understanding of operator and machine interaction.
Some University students are interested in flight training, but would prefer to pursue a degree in another field. For these students, the Professional Pilot program is an option. In this program, the students are able to earn their private pilot's certificate and instrument rating while still pursuing a non aviation degree. Students must transfer to a different college at the University of Illinois in order to complete their bachelor degree.

Famous quotes containing the words programs and/or study:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“If the study of all these sciences, which we have enumerated, should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
