College Aviation Programs | Everything You Should Know!

There are so many ways to become a professional pilot. I took the collegiate path, combining my flight training with an aviation degree. Regardless of where you'd like to go to school, this video will cover the things you should know before you start researching specific programs. Cost is a major factor, and you can end up with nearly identical career opportunities regardless of where you go to school... So be extremely cautious choosing any school that's significantly more expensive in comparison to other options!

I personally went to the University of North Dakota and LOVED it! My professors became mentors and the friends I made will last a lifetime. There's nowhere else quite like collegiate aviation degree programs, where you get to be surrounded by hundreds of people passionate about the same thing you are, plus get a normal college experience!

Operating one of the largest civilian flight training fleets in the world, UND Aerospace flies over 120,000 flight hours per year and has trained over 10,000 professional pilots to date. The John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences houses the primary college, located in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
