The Pathway to Proficiency Certificate in Aviation Science is designed as your first step toward pursuing a degree in Aviation. The program focuses on the foundational skills used in the field of Aviation and as you successfully complete courses, can lead to other degree goals and employment opportunities.

The Pathway to Proficiency Certificate may be completed in high school through the concurrent enrollment program, completed as an undergraduate on campus, or combination of both. Once complete, the Pathway to Proficiency Certificate can be stacked with other courses to earn a Certificate of Completion, Associate or Bachelor degree.
