Dear Prospective Student,
Is it your turn for a rewarding career in aviation? The
field of aviation is full of careers offering many challenges and rewards.
But these rewards do not come easily. A fulfilling and rewarding career
in aviation requires professionalism, dedication and preparation. Whether
you plan on becoming a professional pilot or a manager, SOSU offers
you the training you need to succeed.
SOSU offers undergraduate degree programs in Professional
Pilot and Aviation Management. The Professional Pilot degree prepares
students for a career as a commercial pilot. The Aviation Management
degree has options for those wishing to specialize in Business,
Aviation
Maintenance Management, Safety
Management or Security
Management. In addition to our Bachelor degree programs, the Aviation
Sciences Institute has one of only ten Master
degree programs in aviation in the nation.
Southeastern Oklahoma State University has a long history
in collegiate aviation and an outstanding tradition of excellence in
preparing students to enter the complex and rewarding field of aviation.
However, successful completion of our program does require a strong
commitment from you. Our graduates made the commitment and have achieved
success with major airlines, federal and state governments, the armed
forces, as well as regional and commuter air carriers. In fact, some
of our graduates have reached upper management positions such as major
airline Senior Vice-President, Chief Pilot and Check Airmen, as well
as management positions.
We hope that you will find our web
page to be a useful tool when making this difficult decision concerning
your future. On our web page you will find the associated costs
to obtain various FAA flight ratings as well as the academic
requirements to complete a four-year undergraduate degree in the
program of your choice.
We cordially invite you to schedule a visit with the Aviation
Sciences Institute. The ASI facility is located on Eaker
Field five miles south of the SOSU
main campus in Durant. We look forward to showing you and your family
our facilities and aircraft and have you meet our faculty, staff and
students. One of our aviation faculty advisors will help you complete
a comprehensive plan for your collegiate aviation education and help
you meet the challenge. We are certain that you will find that the SOSU
Aviation Sciences Institute is the best in Oklahoma and, dollar for
dollar, one of the best buys in the country.
Sincerely,
