Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

The program is a unique partnership between Casper College and air flight schools. The program allows students to complete academic coursework and flight training toward a certificate in aviation and a commercial pilot’s license. The primary goal is to provide a curriculum that will lead to commercial, corporate, and cargo aviation employment. Ground School training takes place online. Students are able to complete this course and work around available flight training. Students make their own arrangements for the actual flight training on a contractual basis with the flight school. Flight costs are not covered by tuition costs.
