The Aviation Program is a unique partnership between Casper College and Crosswind Aviation. The program allows students to complete academic coursework and flight training toward an Associate's Degree in Aviation. The primary goal is to provide a curriculum that will lead to employment in commercial aviation or airway science. Academic coursework takes place at Casper College. Students are allowed to schedule flight training around these courses. Students make their own arrangements for the actual flight training with Crosswind Aviation. We schedule around your schedule. Full-time students should complete the program at a low cost in four semesters and be prepared for employment as a commercial pilot. |
