RYERSON UNIVERSITY OPTION

COMBINE YOUR COMMERCIAL PILOT DIPLOMA WITH A GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS DEGREE FROM RYERSON UNIVERSITY

Genesis Flight College has partnered with the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Ryerson University. The new collaboration imparts advanced analytical, critical thinking, and decision-making skills sought after by a wide variety of industries.

The aerospace industry has identified the need for a new breed of specialists who have a comprehensive academic background. Whether your final career path is in Aviation or Geography, the skills developed through our collaboration will enhance your value to many employers.

A Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) is a core requirement if your goal is to become a career pilot. A university degree in combination with a CPL is regarded by the aviation industry as a valuable asset, and is rapidly becoming a requirement for the profession. Genesis encourages its students to apply for admission to Ryerson’s BA in Geographic Analysis program. Conversely, Geographic Analysis students are invited to consider concurrent pilot training during their degree studies. The completed CPL with Genesis Flight College during enrolment at Ryerson will count towards the internship requirement for the BA in Geographic Analysis.

The completion of the two concurrent programs will provide a basis for careers in a diverse array of aviation and aerospace industries, and equip students with a comprehensive grounding in aviation-relevant subjects such as geomatics, climatology, cartography, and remote sensing. The Geographic Analysis program prepares candidates for a wide range of careers in the public and private sectors, while the CPL provides the skills and licensing to fly commercially upon graduation.

GRADUATE WITH A DEGREE IN GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS, PLUS A COMMERCIAL PILOT DIPLOMA
