Schools with Aviation/Aerospace Programs

[FARRIER]

Thought this a good idea for a thread. Most members of our organization have heard of Embry Riddle, but not much of the other schools that have an aerospace/aviation program. For those of us that know of other schools, we could post their links here on this site. This in turn would give members what programs are out there if they are considering going to school, back to school, or obtaining a Masters.

I would also consider listing "ab inito" flight programs and maintenance programs.

The bigger question is how many of you with aviation schools in your state have any sort of relationship between CAP and the school?  At a minimum I would hope CAP members would be giving presentations in the occassional class at these schools to make them aware of who and what we are (and maybe get a few to sign up either now or when they're settled in their careers).

[SJFedor]

MTSU uses the hardback "Aerospace: The Journey of Flight" CAP textbook for their intro to aerospace class. They give a 15 minute talk on what CAP is and what they do, but nothing too serious.

Cheapest text book that anyone ever has to buy at school, though.

I'm debating about asking the chair of the aerospace department if they'd allow a CAP officer to come in one day during the intro classes to give a brief on CAP and to answer questions. It would probably be an effective recruiting tool for at least a few interested bodies.

But, in all honesty, most college kids are more interested in parties and beer then service and committment.

I will restate GO SIOUX.  I am a proud alum of UND 94.  I recieved my BS in Criminal Justice and Aeronautical Studies.  It was  the best bang for your buck back then and, is still reasonable priced.

I suppose, if you couldn't get into Embry-Riddle (ERAU), that'd be a good second choice.

I didn't even realize there was anything in ND?

That has its advantages... namely a lack of riffraff (I hear they all end up at the Embry- Riddle schools anyways)

I see that most (read all) of the information here is related to post high-school studies.  For those CAP members who aren't out of high-school yet, there are some school districts that offer "Aviation Magnet Schools." You go to the school starting in 9th grade and the focus is on aviation/engineering throughout your high-school career.

Here is an example:

Or the CAP Charter School that PAWG is putting together in the Philadelphia public school system.

I think they have info on the main wing website. Colgan has the link, I don't remember it anymore, can't remember if it's a .com, .net, .org, .au, or .aa

Nah, got accepted to  ERAU and, decided on UND.  Pure economics.  Much cheaper to go to a state school plus, I had more educational  opportunities at UND.
