The Bachelor of Science in Aviation Administration requires a total of 120 units, of which 72 units are in the major. The lower division program may be completed at Cal State LA, at a community college, or at another 4-year institution. The major requires 21 semester units of lower division work for students who have completed a two year community college program in airframe and power plant maintenance, air traffic control, air transportation, commercial pilot, travel management or other aviation or business-oriented program.

Freshmen students (non-transfer) are able to complete the lower division (21 semester units) by taking the required Foundation Program. Students who have not completed lower division general education requirements at the time of entrance to Cal State L.A. must fulfill these remaining requirements in addition to upper division general education and major requirements. 

Transfer students must also complete prerequisites to required upper division courses. Consult with an advisor for the specific number of units required in all areas of the degree including GE and free electives.  All students must select one of two tracks; an Aviation Track, or a Management Minor track.
