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.

“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“If we wish to know the force of human genius, we should read Shakespeare. If we wish to see the insignificance of human learning, we may study his commentators.”
