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.
