The Department of Aeronautics consists of dedicated full-time faculty with a wide variety of real-world experience in all areas of civilian and military aviation operations. With their help, students can earn one of several in-person and online degrees, such as our bachelor's programs in Aeronautics, Safety Management, and Uncrewed and Autonomous Systems Applications, as well as our associate degrees in Aeronautics and Aviation Maintenance, and the Certificate in Aviation Maintenance Technology Part 65.
Our adjunct faculty consist of quality professionals employed in industry and government with experience designing, building, and using state-of-the-art equipment in both crewed and uncrewed aviation domains. Our faculty have published widely and internationally in conferences and journals throughout the world.
Industry experts assisted us in conceptualizing and now reflect positively upon our culminating course process as an exceptional benefit to students entering the workforce. As a culminating event for all department programs, the course provides the students with the knowledge they need to successfully enter the workforce.
Our core focus across all of our programs is on providing a quality education through academic achievement and practical application in the form of hands-on research and publication opportunities.
