2009 College Directory

AOPA Flight Training is pleased to present the 2010 College Directory. This directory lists colleges and universities in the United States that offer associate’s, bachelor’s, or master’s degrees in aviation fields. The directory shows the degree type(s) offered as well as subject areas; for more specific information we suggest that you visit the schools’ Web sites.

The online database is fully searchable by any combination of fields, making it quick and easy to find the educational institutions that best meet your needs. It is updated regularly.

Looking for scholarships or other financial aid? Most colleges and universities offer a wide variety of scholarships and loans. Check AOPA’s updated listing of aviation scholarships. For other ideas—and tips for submitting the best scholarship applications possible—see our suggestions.
