Aviation, Bachelor of Science with a Concentration in Aerospace Technology (B. S.)
The Aerospace Technology (AT) degree is a degree completion concentration. By adding upper-division aerospace management and operation's studies, the bachelor's degree AT concentration is specifically designed to complete a two-year community college degree with a heavy technical aviation course load. Examples of aviation technical degrees include Airframe and Powerplants (A&P), a two-year helicopter and/or airplane pro flight degree, any two-year career technical (CTE) degree partnered with a local flight school, any two-year air traffic control program, and /or any two-year aerospace management program, Additionally, non-degreed airline pilots with the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate may complete their Bachelor's degree with this concentration.
