This study measures the influence of an ethics course on the academic integrity of second-year college students enrolled in an aviation program in the United States and their beliefs about following Federal Aviation Regulations standards. Academic integrity is defined by three variables: beliefs about not cheating, beliefs about exhibiting moral behavior, and beliefs about following a code of conduct. Normalized gains, bivariate correlations, and independent samples t-test procedures indicated significant differences in academic integrity between aviation students who took an ethics course and students who did not take an ethics course. The gain in reported moral behavior was found not to be significant. The results of the study imply that offering ethics courses to aviation students promotes their academic integrity. Future studies about other factors that influence the academic integrity of aviation students in college are recommended.
