One of the challenges of pursuing a career as a professional pilot is balancing flight training with the pursuit of a college degree, if that is your choice. It helps when the flight school has a partnership with the university. That’s the case with Epic Flight Academy in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and Purdue University Global, which are now partnering to offer an online bachelor’s degree in aviation management or professional flight through the Purdue Global aviation program.
“This partnership will help both parties work together to address the need for more pilots, as well as those who work in the aviation industry,” said Sara Sander, Purdue Global vice president, dean of the college of social and behavioral sciences and interim dean of the school of aviation. “We are pleased to partner with Epic Flight Academy through recognition of prior learning in both the professional flight and aviation management programs.”
