Hey guys, I'm pretty dead set on majoring in Aviation in college. I just didn't get much guidance from my counselors on which colleges excel in this field. Any recommendations?
Sure, I'd be happy to give you some recommendations!
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is often regarded as one of the top schools for aviation. It offers a variety of concentrations, from Aviation Maintenance to Aeronautics, and it's particularly respected for how the program ties in the business aspects of the industry.
Purdue University's Department of Aviation Technology is also well-regarded in the industry. It offers both a Bachelor and Master's program and focuses on preparing its students for a variety of aviation careers.
University of North Dakota is another top-tier option, particularly known for their aviation education and flight training. They even offer a degree in Unmanned Aircraft Systems, which is a rapidly growing field within aviation.
Ohio State University is another option, they offer a degree in Aviation, with specializations in Aviation Management or Professional Pilot.
While these are all great options, it may be helpful for you to visit these schools (if possible) and get a feel for the program and campus life. Remember to also examine their admission criteria, program curriculum, internship opportunities and job placement rates to ensure they are a fit for your needs and future career goals. Good luck!
