Aviation
An FAA-approved flight training school, the Aviation Program combines flight training, ground school and liberal arts courses and awards an Associate in Applied Science degree. Flight training begins the first semester and you’ll learn to fly in all four seasons. The curriculum includes completion of Private, Instrument, and Commercial Certificates and Multi-engine and Flight Instructor Ratings, plus specialty courses designed to increase your hiring potential. A fleet of single and multi-engine aircraft provides hands-on experience enhanced by a level 6 state-of-the-art flight simulator. NMC has relationships with many aviation businesses to increase hiring opportunities after graduation.
