Aviation Visit Day
Join our flight instructors at First Flight Aviation for a tour of our flight school facilities on Wednesday, February 26, 2025. See where you will take flight and learn more about what your time will look like as an aviation student at Wright State University. Your First Flight experience will include a 1-hour facility tour and a 30-minute information session about our Bachelor of Science in Aviation Science and Technology (B.S.) program. Following your First Flight tour, join us for a tour of our Dayton campus to see all Wright State has to offer.
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 semester—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.
