  • Transfer-focused curriculum aligned with bachelor's degree requirements at aviation universities. 
  • Technical flight training completed at a partner flight school and transferred to LMC. 
  • General education courses in sciences, math, communication, and the humanities to support four-year transfer. 
  • Strong foundation in aviation science, FAA regulations, safety, and operations 
  • Academic advising support for university transfer planning. 
  • Flexible course delivery, with in-person and online options for business and general education courses. 

The workforce demand context for the Aviation AAS includes a national pilot shortage, strong projected growth, and a deeply underserved training pipeline. Additional demand factors for transfer-track students include: 

  • Aviation management and leadership roles increasingly require or prefer bachelor's degrees, making the AS-to-transfer pathway particularly valuable for career advancement. 
  • Aerospace and aviation engineering occupations are projected to grow alongside expanded space, defense, and commercial aviation sectors. 
  • Employers and airlines are actively investing in partnerships with educational institutions to build pilot and aviation management pipelines. 
  • Scholarships and financial incentives from airlines and aviation organizations increasingly target students early in their academic preparation. 

The Aviation AS serves as the foundation for the same broad range of professional career paths as the AAS - pilots, aviation managers, aviation engineers, and aerospace professionals - with the additional career ceiling that comes with a bachelor's degree. Transfer graduates are positioned for: 

  • Upper-division aviation science or engineering programs at four-year universities. 
  • Management and leadership roles in commercial, corporate, or military aviation. 
  • Careers in aeronautical engineering, air traffic management, or aviation safety. 
  • Advanced professional certifications and specialized aviation training.
