Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Programs Listed Alphabetically

Aviation Technology—Maintenance Management graduates are qualified to enter the work force in many rewarding career fields in aviation. Employment opportunities exist in target industries such as major airline carrier maintenance management, commuter airline maintenance management, fixed-base operator (FBO) maintenance, and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aircraft inspection after some field experience. This major has a great deal of depth in general maintenance, which applies to most industrial maintenance operations. Although the major’s focus is aviation, the knowledge and skills gained can be used in other fields.

Graduation Requirements for Aviation Technology Majors (Professional Pilot and Maintenance Management)


A student can repeat no more than six of the required courses in order to satisfy the graduation requirements. Multiple repeats of the same course are included in the total of six repeats. Audits count as a time taking a class unless prior written approval is obtained from a college academic advisor.

Although transfer credit accepted by the department and the college may be applied toward graduation requirements, the grades received will not be used in the USU GPA calculation.

For all aviation technology majors, the following academic regulations apply in addition to University regulations:

  1. A minimum GPA of 2.4 must be maintained in technology/math/ science/business courses required for, or used as technical electives in, the chosen major. University Studies courses are not included in this GPA calculation.
  2. No more than 6 credits of D or D+ credit may be applied toward meeting graduation requirements in technology/math/science/business classes.
  3. College of Engineering courses may be repeated only once. Audits count as a time taking a class unless prior written approval is obtained from the department head. A maximum of six required or elective courses can be repeated in order to meet graduation requirements.
  4. The P-D-F grading option may not be used in required or elective courses. (The P-D-F grading option is approved for University Studies courses.)
  5. The academic regulations listed above (1-4) apply to required coursework and any technology/math/science/business course which could be used to satisfy graduation requirements for the chosen degree. That is, once a student completes a particular technical elective, it becomes a required course for that student.
  6. Students in violation of departmental or college academic regulations, no longer eligible for graduation, or not making satisfactory progress toward a degree will have a registration hold placed on their record.
    1. Students will be placed on probation (registration hold) if they
      1. have more than 6 credits of D credit (see item 2 above); or
      2. have a GPA of less than 2.4 (see item 1 above)
    2. The hold remains until they improve their standing by repeating classes to reduce the number of D credits to 6 or less, and/or by raising their GPA above 2.4. Students must meet with their advisor to have the hold removed.

The student must meet with a college academic advisor at least once each semester to work out a schedule having the primary goal of correcting the existing academic problems.
