Program Info: The Professional Aviation Flight Technology curriculum is designed to prepare students for flight in the aviation industry. Students may elect flight training at our flight schools operating under contract to Indiana State University. Students who complete the major in Professional Aviation Flight Technology will graduate with a Bachelor of Science Degree and an FAA Flight Instructor Certification with an Instrument Rating and a Multi-Engine Land Class Rating.

The Aviation Management curriculum prepares students for professional administrative positions in the aviation industry. The Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation Management will provide a broad understanding of the functions and responsibilities of a manager or supervisor in a variety of related aviation positions. Career tracks range from such occupations as Airport Manager to Director of Operations for a major airline. Flight training is not required, however, to gain a better understanding of the aerospace industry, student's are encouraged to obtain at least a Private Pilot Certificate with instant flight endorsement.

The department of Aviation Technology offers students the choice of two approved flight schools to complete flight training operations. Both flight contractors are located at different airports. The Terre Haute Air Center is located at Hulman Field (HUF) seven miles east of the Indiana State University Campus. Brown’s Flying School is located at Sky King Airport (3I3) and is located seven miles north of the Indiana State University Campus.
