New evening pathway in Aviation Technology: Spring 2025
Aviation Technology is adding an evening option in addition to its day program to increase access for working students.
The evening schedule kicks off in the spring 2025 semester January 21, with classes Tuesday through Thursday evenings and every other Saturday. All core classes are available at night for the certificate and associate degree pathway in Aviation Technology. Graduates are prepared to apply for the FAA oral, written, and practical exams for the Airframe and Powerplant Technician License.
The evening program is full time, comprising the same number of hours as the day program, but in a condensed format to allow for a full-time work schedule during the day. Aviation Technology covers five semesters total, including one summer term.
The new Aviation Technology evening schedule has three students enrolled already, leaving seats for a dozen more!
