Ways Pilots Can Earn an Associates Degree

How Professional Pilots Can Earn an Associates Degree

Upper Limit Aviation is committed to the success of our students. One of the best ways that we can extend the benefits of our program to our students is by encouraging them to utilize the added value contributed by the schools we have partnered with by earning an associate degree. A college degree has long been a part of the set of qualifications that many employers use to determine who may be an ideal candidate to work in a given position. Many pilots forgo the opportunity to further their education beyond the minimum requirements for what is expected to obtain an entry-level pilot job. While this strategy will work for many pilots, there is a lot to be said for adding extra education to your skill set and knowledge base.

Upper Limit Aviation has chosen its partners schools wisely. The schools that we have partnered with offer students the chance to participate in a truly beneficial scholastic program that will enhance their experience and knowledge as professional pilots by allowing them to earn an associate of science or an associate of applied science degree.

Students studying to become a helicopter or fixed-wing pilot at our West Memphis, AR campus can simultaneously enroll at Mid-South Community College, allowing them not only to earn a college degree, but also to have access to further funding opportunities that may not be available to students who do not choose the college route.

While military veterans may have the ability to use the Post 9/11 GI Bill’s benefits in order to secure a deeply discounted or free education, private citizens may have an easier time securing funding to attend our program by concurrently enrolling in one of our partner college programs. After all, if the byproduct of securing funding more easily is that you wind up with a college degree on top of your flight training, thus making you a more qualified and more employable pilot, what’s the harm?
