Curriculum and academic programs

Just like so many military academies in the world, the MABAV is a medium-sized, highly residential baccalaureate college, with a full-time, four-year undergraduate program that emphasizes instruction in the arts, sciences, and professions with no graduate program, preparing men and women to take on the challenge of being officers of the Venezuelan Air Force. The academy is accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education.

Academic program

The academic program consists of a structured core of subjects depending on the cadet's chosen specialty as a future Air Force officer, balanced between the arts and sciences. Regardless of chosen major, all cadets graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree. The specialties are:

  • Air Operations
  • Air Defense
  • Military Intelligence
  • Air Logistics and Materiel
  • Administration
