The aeronautical science degree is available as either a flight or non-flight major.

• Choosing aeronautical science without flight provides a strong foundation in applied math and science for a career in a technical aspect of aviation.
• Choosing aeronautical science - flight prepares you for a career as a professional pilot. Traditionally, graduates pursue a type rating as a new hire, and in most cases only then after building flight time as an instructor. Now, you can do it as an undergraduate at Florida Tech and graduate with the high-altitude, high-speed experience that gives you a distinct advantage over graduates of other collegiate aviation programs.
