In addition to the 105 academic credits, UFV requires Transport Canada certifications and licenses as transfer credit for 15 additional credits for a total of 120 credits for program completion of the BBA - Aviation. Please see the Academic Calendar information on the requirements for the BBA – Aviation.
What are the costs for the BBA - Aviation

Students pay their flight school for the cost of their aviation flight training and credentials. Please note flight training costs vary depending on the flight school. Please contact flight schools regarding flight school training costs.
Where do I attend flight school training?
UFV does not partner with a specific flight school. Instead, UFV focuses on the aviation credential achieved through Transport Canada as opposed to where you took your flight training.
Here is the Transport Canada guidelines for How to Select a Flying School for your perusal.
Do I need to complete my aviation licenses and certifications at the same flight school?
You can stay with the same flight school through the course of your studies or change flight schools and complete licenses and certifications at more than one flight school.
Will UFV accept licenses and ratings I completed before I applied to the BBA - Aviation?
Yes, UFV accepts licences and ratings credentials achieved through Transport Canada that are completed before applying to UFV.
What aviation licences and certifications are required?
Students must complete the following fixed wing aviation licenses and certifications in order to graduate from a UFV School of Business Aviation program:
UFV accepts these Transport Canada certifications and licenses as transfer credit for a total of 15 credits towards the BBA – Aviation.
Does UFV accept rotary wing licenses and certifications?
Currently the UFV BBA – Aviation only accepts licenses and certifications for fixed wing, and not rotary wing.
How do I plan for academic courses and flight school training?
There are several sections offered for UFV first year academic courses required in the BBA – Aviation, while your flight school may have limited scheduling options for training. We recommend for students to book flight school training, and then plan to register for UFV academic courses required for the BBA – Aviation that do not conflict with their flight school training schedule.
When planning your academic courses, please remember to book sufficient travel time between your flight school training and academic courses.
Please see the Academic Calendar information on the program outline for course requirements for the BBA – Aviation.
