School of Business
In 2024, we upgraded our aviation programs to give you the best possible start in the dynamic aviation industry. What hasn't changed? UFV’s comprehensive programs continue to provide you with the training and industry connections you need, whether you aspire to be a pilot or work in the business and management areas.
Take your Private Pilot License and Commercial Pilot Licence training at the flight school of your choice to earn your Transport Canada certifications and licenses. You can complete the Aviation certifications and licenses before, during, or after your UFV courses, and you can switch flight schools if you wish.
UFV acknowledges the commitment needed to become a pilot. Your PPL and CPL training form a core part of the curriculum and earn you a minimum of 30 credits toward your diploma or degree. If you complete two additional ratings (Multi-Engine Instrument Rating, Instrument Rating, or Instructor Rating), you earn up to 6 additional credits toward the degree program.

Your courses at UFV will give you a solid foundation in core business skills — from marketing, to accounting, to human resource management. If you continue in the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), you'll develop more advanced business expertise and delve into specialized aviation courses on topics such as airline management, airport planning, and international air transportation.
A four-year degree that recognizes your advanced flight training and allows you to pursue in-depth knowledge of general business and specialized aviation industry topics.
A two-year diploma that combines your pilot training with a series of foundational business courses to launch you into a promising aviation career.
Getting a business degree from UFV is one of the best decisions I ever made. I gained the practical knowledge, experience, connections and confidence that allowed me to pursue an exciting and satisfying career.
