Central Texas College offers an associate’s degree in aviation that gives you the necessary skills to achieve your commercial pilot certificate as well as a host of other marketable skills to land you a job in the aviation field.
This two-year full-time degree program consists of 60 total credit hours and encompasses a complete college education focusing on aviation. As opposed to the crowded skies of many other schools, Central Texas College will have you flying around the relatively calm spaces above Killeen and the surrounding countryside.
It’s far enough away from the major metro areas of central Texas that you won’t run into too much traffic but close enough to test yourself when the time comes.
The associate’s offered by Central Texas College dovetails nicely into the bachelor’s program offered by Texas A&M of Central Texas. This advanced degree will allow you to specialize even further as a professional pilot or work toward a career in aviation management.
