AABI was established in 1988 at the initiative of 100\ncolleges and universities with aviation programs who recognized the need to\nestablish standards and submit themselves to the review of their peers and the\nindustry. Its purpose is to serve as the official accrediting body for all\ncollegiate aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vaughn\u2019s aircraft operations professional pilot program has\nbeen developed to provide students proficiency in all areas of pilot skills to\nachieve the certified flight instructor level and to meet the growing demand\nthrough 2039 for pilots. The aeronautical sciences bachelor of science degree\nprovides students with the flexibility to incorporate flight qualifications\nwith academic studies. The program provides the ability to explore career\nopportunities in addition to becoming a pilot, in the aviation, management and\ntechnology fields, by obtaining a foundation in flight dispatch, air traffic\ncontrol or airfield operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis accreditation means a great deal for the institution\nand especially for our students,\u201d said Aviation Department Chair Dr. Pete\nRusso. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked hard to meet the high standards for AABI accreditation in\nour degree programs and are confident it will help our students meet their\neducational goals and help them stand out as they begin their professional\ncareers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A growing number of airlines are looking for pilots who have\ngraduated from colleges that are accredited by AABI. To become accredited,\naviation programs have to satisfy a range of quality criteria that demonstrate\ntheir ability to maintain a level of performance, integrity and quality that\nwill be recognized by the educational community, the industry and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAirlines want to hire from AABI-accredited college programs\nbecause they know these pilots have been educated according to universally\naccepted disciplines and the rigorous standards set by the industry,\u201d explained\nRusso. \u201cThe Industry advises AABI, and AABI advises colleges, and the result is\nthat industry experts look for pilots with those credentials. It\u2019s a virtuous\ncircle. And that is why Vaughn College actively pursued AABI accreditation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
