Good universities which offer BSC and also pilot training?
Hello guys,
I wanted to know if there are good universities in Canada which helps you to obtain a BSC Degree as well as a pilot training program. Or universities affiliated with good flight colleges.
Thanks

Mount Royal University, located in Calgary, Alberta, offers an Aviation Diploma Programme.
Selkirk College, located in Castlegar, B.C. offered an Aviation Diploma programme, but it was cancelled in July.
Georgian College offers an Advanced Aviation Management 3-year Diploma programme. The campus is located in Barrie, Ontario.
Seneca College at Toronto also has an Aviation Programme.
The University of Waterloo has an Aviation Degree Course. The professor is former Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield.

"You don't need a degree to operate an aircraft.
You don't need to graduate high school, to operate
an aircraft."
Not doing what you do. But if you want to work flying jets the airplanes are becoming very sophisticated and the operating environment is becoming more technically demanding every year. Operators want capable people at the controls of their very expensive airplanes, and coming from an accredited aviation college is an asset. But I agree getting an education in something outside of aviation is a smart thing to do if you can.

They provide pilot training for the University of Waterloo aviation program and Conestoga College. The first is a degree program while Conestoga is a college diploma.
Good training facility as far as I know, but someone who recently went there would obviously know more than I do about that.

Waterloo
University of Waterloo has an excellent reputation for science and engineering with a high bar for admission. I would imagine getting in to an aviation program these is competitive.
I looked at the program and it seems quite comprehensive. The aviation component is projected at $68,000 which does not sound out of line. You also have to pay university tuition which can be 18K for international students.
Certainly having a waterloo degree would be a good fall back and something of a door opener. Be interesting to see how their students fair.

Confederation College has a good reputation - but is heavily biased towards the seaplane side for mining, exploration and lodge operators.

I can only partially agree with you canuck51. If all you ever want from aviation is to be a line pilot, then you're right in saying a degree offers little advantage. However, if a pilot ever wanted to get into the management and/or training side of the house for an outfit larger than, say a moderate sized turbo-prop operator, then a degree certainly helps.
Also, a degree in Aviation is simply a title. It really depends on what you major or minor in. A degree in Aviation Safety can set a pilot up really nice for SMS work at an airline. A degree in Aviation Crash Investigation opens the door as far as it can go for anyone thinking about TSB or TC. A degree in Aviation Management - Chief Pilot or better.
So yes, while an aviation degree may not do anything for the line pilot, it certainly helps keep you in the industry doing a million of the other things that are just as important should anything ever happen.

We aren't talking about computer programming Canuck, we're talking about flying. You have a very low opinion of piloting unless it's the type you do, but outside of the display box airplanes and airspace requirements are becoming very complex. Your airplanes and your airspace are comparatively simple.
Flying large complex airplanes requires an understanding of the technology while not forgetting basic handling principles in sometimes very difficult conditions. Failures are usually spectacular when they happen.
No, it is not like operating a crane or driving a bulldozer.

Too funny. My software runs on the core
routers of the internet:
Carrier Routing System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I guess I just don't know very much about
technology, compared to some people here.

I say again: you don't need to be able to
write the software, or design the hardware,
to operate the final product.
