New Aviation Degree at Wright State University

School Offers Bachelor of Science Degree or Minor in Aviation Studies

Students interested in a career as a pilot or flight instructor in the Dayton, Ohio, area can now get flight training as well as a B.S. degree in Aviation Science and Technology through a new degree program being offered at Wright State University.

The aviation courses and flight training will be provided through a partnership with First Flight Aviation, a flight school at Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport (KMGY). The new program will also provide the skills for those interested in technical positions as well as aviation management. The program will be accepting applications in the fall 2024, and no previous flight training or experience is required. First Flight is a FAA-approved Part 141 flight school, and students who meet certain requirements can begin flying in their first semester.

Jim Denniston, Dean of the College of Health, Education and Human Services at Wright State said, “The industry need for pilots greatly exceeds the pipeline of students in existing aviation programs. The implementation of Wright State’s aviation science and technology programs will help address this critical workforce need and will provide our students with outstanding career opportunities after they complete their respective degree programs.”

“Wright State is excited to build on our innovative roots and offer a comprehensive aviation degree program that gives our students the skills to pursue careers as pilots while supporting our region and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,” said President Sue Edwards.
