Aviation

George Mason's top-ranked aviation program allows students to earn a pilot's license while completing their degree.

Mason CEC SEOR student Darius Jack is often the youngest person landing a plane at one of Virginia’s 65 airports. Having gotten his pilot’s license as a teenager, Darius combines his interests in aviation and engineering when he’s in the cockpit.

Mason College of Engineering and Computing students fly planes and learn about air transportation in the aviation and flight training minor offered by the Systems Engineering and Operations Research department.
