Piloting is a diverse field with in-demand career opportunities, and Wright State can help prepare you for them. The School of Aviation is designed for students with or without previous flight experience, putting you in the air as early as your first year—sooner than in most university aviation programs. Also, an aviation science degree can synergize well with studies in other science disciplines, such as engineering, expanding your career options.
Wright State is dedicated to the growth and economic health of the region through an empowered workforce, driven in part by partnerships with organizations like Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Aviation science is a big part of improving the well-being of our community.
