Academics
The school offers associate's degrees, bachelor's degrees, and master's degrees, as well as several adult degree completion programs and an online education program for aviation professionals. The school is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
The B.S. in Aviation Operations is the only degree in the School of Aviation Sciences still accredited through the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI). The Flight Training Program is approved under the guidelines of Federal Aviation Regulations Parts 141 and 61, and all instructors are Certified Flight Instructors. The school's Air Traffic Management program is approved under the FAA's Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) program to train air traffic controllers. The B.S. in Aviation Flight Operations was one of three undergraduate aviation degree programs offered, but new students are no longer accepted into this program. The B.S. in Aviation Management and the B.S. in Aviation/Air Traffic Management are still offered. However, as of July 2011, these two programs are no longer accredited by AABI, disqualifying graduates from many positions which require a degree from an AABI accredited program.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
