Successful progress through the AMT program requires that all students have algebra proficiency at the MATH A055 level (MATH A105 is highly recommended) and English proficiency at the PRPE A108 or ENGL A109 level. Preparatory mathematics and English courses should be taken prior to entry into the AMT program. Under certain circumstances mathematics and English courses may be taken during the first semester with some AMT courses; see an advisor before registering. The AMT program courses are sequential and the student is cautioned that taking courses out of sequence will extend the program beyond its normal length. Typically, AMT courses have prerequisites, and advisor approval is required prior to registration for all AMT courses.

The AAS degree normally requires one semester of study beyond a certificate program. AMT students may elect to continue their studies while pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Aviation Technology or Bachelor of Science in Technology at UAA. Those intending to pursue a four-year degree must discuss their plans with an AMT faculty advisor for proper course sequence.
AAS degree candidates who have completed an FAA approved program in aviation maintenance at a nationally or regionally accredited institution, passed all courses in the major with a grade of C or better, and currently hold a valid FAA Mechanic’s Certificate may, with the approval of the department, use the certificate for a portion of the AAS major degree requirements. Individuals considering this option must discuss their plans with an AMT faculty advisor.
