The Nova Southeastern University (NSU) has teamed up with American Flyers to provide flight training for NSU’s new Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services Administration, which concentrates on human factors in aviation. The program begins Aug. 20. Academic classes will be held online, but students can also opt to take some courses at NSU’s campus in Davie, Florida, near Fort Lauderdale. Students also have a choice of where they would like to conduct their flight training, which will be available at any of American Flyers’ locations around the United States using a combination of simulators and airplanes.
The schools made the decision to start the program “in anticipation of a worldwide pilot shortage” according to a joint press release. “Some airlines have actually grounded aircraft because of a lack of crew,” said American Flyers CEO Don Harrington.
