Exciting destinations. Panoramic views. Adventurous opportunities. The life of a professional pilot is full of exhilarating moments, but just like an aircraft on a cross-country trip, you can’t arrive at one point without starting from another. To achieve a successful career as a pilot, it is essential to obtain a bachelor’s degree, possess pilot ratings and build flight time.

K-State Salina has partnered with Air Associates of Kansas and Johnson County Community College, both located in the heart of Johnson County, Kansas, to provide you the bachelor’s degree and training you need to reach your aviation goals. This degree has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration for a reduction in the flight time required for your ATP certificate, thus expediting the launch of your aviation career.
