Bachelor of Business Administration in Aviation at University of the Fraser Valley

Programme overview

The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) — Aviation is built for people who love aviation but want more than just a pilot licence. You'll blend hands-on flight training with real business education, coming out ready for careers in aviation management, aerospace, and more.

What you will study

Along the way, you'll sharpen the skills that matter in any professional setting — communication, leadership, and sharp decision-making. The program combines flight training, aviation theory, and academic coursework.

Career pathways

Demand for trained pilots continues to grow worldwide as airlines expand and experienced pilots retire. According to Boeing, international airlines will need to hire more than 600,000 new pilots over the next two decades — including 127,000 in North America, 143,000 in Eurasia, and 134,000 in China.
