Psychology, BS, Aviation Psychology (GPS)

The Aviation Psychology (AVP) concentration focuses an undergraduate’s Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree on courses that prepare the student for an aviation-related career . Students will complete the ground school and flight training necessary to become a commercial pilot as well as round out their education with relevant theories from Psychology and the natural sciences.  This scientific background would provide the student with an understanding of human cognition and perception and the implications for designing safe and effective interfaces between the human operator and a dynamic, complex, technologically rich environment.  To add the AVP concentration to your degree program, speak to your advisor (cosm-advisors@wright.edu).

This Graduation Planning Strategy (GPS) outlines a sample four-year path to graduation and is valid for this catalog year only.  This plan is a recommendation, and your actual program may vary.  This suggested four-year graduation plan is not a substitute for regular academic advising appointments.

All undergraduate degree programs require at least 120 credit hours.  To graduate in four years, students must earn an average of 15 credit hours per semester (fall and spring).  The time it takes to complete a degree and the sequence in which courses are taken will depend on any credits transferred to WSU and your placement in math and writing.
