General Program Information
Students must apply for acceptance into the Flight Technology major after being accepted into CWU. Application information and forms are available on the Flight Technology Program website, from CWU admissions, or from the Flight Technology Program office. Admission decisions are based on a number of factors including grade point average, SAT/ACT scores, financial capability and a written statement of purpose, as outlined in the Flight Technology application form.
Bachelor of Science
Flight Technology Major (3458)
with Specialization
The Flight Technology major prepares students for careers in the aviation industry. Students select one of three technical specializations leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Flight Technology. The curriculum in Flight Technology is designed to provide a solid foundation in the liberal arts as well as a thorough education and training in a technical discipline. All FLT courses are by permission. Prerequisites may be waived for students enrolled in the Aviation Management specialization or the Aviation Maintenance Management emphasis.
Pilot Specialization
The areas of emphasis in the Pilot specialization are designed to prepare graduates for entry level careers and leadership roles in the aviation community. Special program rules and procedures as stated in the CWU Flight Technology/Midstate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) apply to the Pilot specialization. A minor is required of students graduating with this specialization. The Pilot specialization offers two areas of emphasis:
Flight Officer
General Aviation Pilot
The following core classes are required for ALL Pilot specialization majors.

The Asia University America Program (AUAP) is a study abroad program for sophomores from Asia University in Tokyo, Japan. Two groups of students come to CWU each year and stay for five months. A group of approximately 100 students arrives the beginning of March and stays until the end of July, and a group of approximately 60 students arrives at the beginning of fall quarter and stays through mid-February. The program is presently ongoing at two other universities in the northwest: Western Washington University and Eastern Washington University. The purpose of the AUAP is to provide students from Asia University the opportunity to improve their English skills, learn about American culture and experience university life in the U.S. Students receive instruction in English, American History, Human Environment and their major areas of study such as business, international relations, economics and law. The classes are taught by AUAP instructors following a curriculum set up by Asia University. The students earn one semester of Asia University credit during their studies at CWU. CWU students are employed in the AUAP as International Peer Advisors and also as teaching assistants in the classes. Many CWU students volunteer to participate in the Campus Friends program in which AUAP students are matched with CWU students for conversation and activities.
