Aviation Degree and Certificate Programs
Vaughn’s certificate, associate and bachelor’s-degree programs are designed to build proficiency in all areas of aviation, including maintenance. Students have the opportunity to take Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) examinations for private pilot, instrument rating and commercial pilot certifications in addition to flight training and simulation. A recent agreement enables students in their final year of study to have in-air and simulation training at Redbird Flight Simulation’s facility in San Marcos, Texas.

Internships and Employment Opportunities
Vaughn’s rigorous curriculum and highly qualified faculty put our students at the head of the class for exciting internships and employment opportunities with industry leaders such as Delta Air Lines, jetBlue, American Airlines, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the Federal Aviation Administration. That’s one reason why 95 percent of our graduates are employed or continue their education within one year of graduation.

Vaughn College recognizes the issues students can face paying for college. That’s why more than 85 percent of our students are eligible for some type of financial aid, including scholarships, grants, loans and campus employment.
