Programs of Study
The Institute of Aviation offers a B.S. in Aviation Human Factors. This program of study focuses on aircraft safety, accident prevention, and human factors psychology; the core curriculum is a mixture of flight and psychology courses. Through the flight courses, students may earn their private pilot's certificate, commercial pilot's certificate, instrument rating, and multi-engine rating. The psychology courses provide the students with an understanding of operator and machine interaction.
Some University students are interested in flight training, but would prefer to pursue a degree in another field. For these students, the Professional Pilot program is an option. In this program, the students are able to earn their private pilot's certificate and instrument rating while still pursuing a non aviation degree. Students must transfer to a different college at the University of Illinois in order to complete their bachelor degree.

Famous quotes containing the words programs and/or study:
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“lf, presume not to God to scan;
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Plac’d on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise, and rudely great.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
