Our Mission: Educate a new generation of dedicated aviation professionals, advance our understanding of the aerospace environment, and promote the academic and spiritual growth of our students.

The Institute for Aviation Sciences was created in 1991 with the goal of advancing Baylor University's mission through research, public service, and the education of a new generation of pilots. In the same year, the institute initiated the Bachelor of Science in Aviation Sciences (B.S.A.) degree, and graduated its first class in 1995.

The degree provides a balance of aeronautical theory and application combined with an impeccable college education on a tradition-rich campus. The result is an academic experience that fully equips our students to grow into leaders in the aviation industry. A recent study has shown that the best-performing pilots have obtained flight instructor certification, received advanced pilot training in college, and graduated with collegiate aviation degrees - all of which you will achieve at Baylor University!

The inclusion of a major in Aviation Administration added even more flexibility for our students seeking careers in aviation with new research agendas in aviation, atmospheric, and space sciences, our students can also take advantage of invaluable research experiences. Today, our department continues to grow with increasing interest in our program and has built a reputation for aviation excellence.

The Institute for Aviation Sciences is a member of Women in Aviation International, and the University Aviation Association, a professional association that fosters excellence in collegiate aviation education.
