Jacksonville State University in Alabama will launch a new Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation in the Fall of 2026.
The program will offer three concentrations: Aviation Management, Commercial Aviation, and Public Safety Aviation.
The Commercial Aviation concentration will provide structured flight training aligned with FAA certification standards, from private pilot up through instrument and multi-engine ratings, according to university officials.
Students interested in the Commercial Aviation concentration must first be accepted to Jax State before submitting the secondary application. The deadline to submit the Commercial Aviation concentration application is May 15, 2026.
The university is now searching for its first Aviation Department head and applying to the FAA for Part 141 ground school authorization and finalizing partnerships with FAA-certified Part 141 flight training providers.
