It is the intent of the faculty and staff of the Center for Aviation Studies that within the first few years after graduation: 

 

  • Graduates of the program will be employed in the aviation profession, or applying their aviation knowledge to their chosen career.

  • Graduates will engage in life-long learning and apply new ideas and technology as the field of aviation evolves. 
  • Graduates will be informed, involved community members and responsible professionals. 

 


Accreditation is a system for recognizing educational institutions and/or their professional programs that achieve and maintain a level of performance, integrity and quality that entitles them to the confidence of the educational community, the industry, and the public they serve.

Accreditation has three fundamental purposes:

  • to ensure the quality of the institution or program
  • to assist in the improvement of the institution or program
  • to maintain relevance of education with the industry it serves
