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

The University English as a Second Language Program consists of a year-round intensive English program and short-term special programs. The year-round intensive program provides English language instruction (20 hours a week), orientation to American culture, and academic preparation for international students from around the world. Students can enter the program four times a year and progress through the 5-level program at their own rate. Content courses and elective courses, including TOEFL Preparation, are offered in addition to work in the core skill areas (reading, writing, integrated grammar, listening comprehension, and speaking). Educational field trips, social activities, and outside-class communication opportunities with native speakers of English serve to enhance the learning experience. In addition, conditional admission to undergraduate study at CWU is an option through the UESL Program. Short-term special programs are arranged for specific groups from schools, companies and organizations. Students from many of CWU's sister institutions come to campus each year for such programs. The Program provides practical training in Teaching English as a Second Language for education majors as well as English Department graduate students. American students can volunteer to be a Conversational Partner with a UESL student.

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 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.
