Programs Offered
Aviation Flight (Commercial Pilot) (Associate of Applied Science)
This program is designed to prepare students, both technically and professionally, for entry-level aviation positions. The ground school courses equip the students with the academic knowledge to perform flight duties and prepare for their required FAA examinations. The Aviation Flight program prepares students for their respective FAA flight tests in accordance with the FAA Practical Test Standards. Our tablet-based curriculum can help our students to move through their training more efficiently and with more opportunity to practice as they learn.
Aviation Maintenance Technology (Diploma and Associate of Applied Science Occupational Degree)
Aviation maintenance technicians keep aircraft in safe flying condition by servicing, repairing, and overhauling aircraft and components following stringent regulations set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the aircraft manufacturer. All aircraft are required to undergo thorough inspections and repairs on a regular basis. These services are provided by trained A&P technicians and approved by certified technicians. Technicians in this field work on aircraft components and systems including airframe, piston engines, turbine engines, hydraulic systems, propellers, rigging, warning systems, environmental systems, and more.
Aviation Maintenance Technology (Diploma and Associate of Applied Science Occupational Degree) – Hybrid
We also offer a partially online aviation maintenance technology training option that is meant to be manageable even if you are working or you are finishing up active duty in the military. The Aviation Maintenance Technology hybrid option allows you to live at home (or home country) for the first part of the program while taking courses online (providing you with a flexible schedule), then relocating to Tulsa for the second portion which is hands-on. Check our authorization list to ensure you live in a state that has approved our distance education option.
Aviation Electronics Technology (Associate of Applied Science Occupational Degree)
As global airways grow more congested, pilots must now rely more than ever on the integrity of aircraft navigation and communication systems to keep air travel safe. Advances in the electronics of traditional aircraft, expansion of airline fleets, and the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), requires trained technicians with expertise in manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and installation of new and existing systems. Aviation electronics technicians play a key role in the development and deployment of satellites, helicopters, and aircraft of all types and sizes.
Technology Management (Bachelor of Science Degree)
The Technology Management program is offered either through hybrid delivery (online/on-ground courses) or Distance Education (100% online). The two bachelor programs are separately approved; however, the courses and format are identical. The purpose of the Bachelor of Science in Technology Management (Hybrid or Distance Education Version) is to build and strengthen business and management acumen within technological industries. Students combine their prior technical training with education in communication, quantitative reasoning and critical thinking, as well as business management to help prepare them for challenges in the field. Check our authorization list to ensure you live in a state that has approved our online option.
Avocational Private Pilot (FAA Part 61)
The private pilot course is designed for students wishing to learn the skills and information to take the FAA exam for private pilot certification (license). The private pilot license allows you to act as pilot in command of most single engine aircraft carrying passengers for pleasure (not for reimbursement) in fair weather conditions. Fair weather conditions are also known as the Visual Flight Rule (VFR) which means there are no clouds or other weather disturbances. While the FAA only requires 40 flight hours to sit for the exam, mastering the skills needed often takes additional time so our program requires 65 hours.
*The Avocational Private Pilot (FAA Part 61) is outside the ACCSC scope of accreditation.
