The Aviation/Airport Management program offers training in aviation, including two full years of college education which can be transferred to programs at four-year colleges.

The job market in aviation is so diverse that the future employment outlook is excellent. You may graduate from this program and with experience, find a position as a flight instructor, corporate pilot, airport manager, aviation salesperson or airline pilot.

Once you have successfully completed the Aviation/Airport Management program you will have private and commercial pilot licenses, instrument rating and certified flight instructor rating, instrument flight instructor rating and/or multi-engine rating.

Students wishing to gain work experience may choose to apply for any available internship programs.
