Question
Hello, Jeff.
My name is Tanya. I'm 21 years old. I'm a student in Belarus. And I dream to be a pilot. I want to take my degree in aviation in USA. I don't know what I'll need to do for that. Where can I get same information about going to some flying college?
Thank you for your help.
Good luck
Tanya
Answer
There are a large number of colleges that offer aviation degrees. You can go to AOPA.org and look under Training - Learn to Fly for a list. The two largest and best-known colleges specializing in aviation are Spartan College in Oklahoma and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, with campuses in Arizona and Florida. Many other schools, which you can find on the AOPA list, offer a more broad-based eduaction with aviation training. Your prospects are better if you get flight training along with a degree, but not necessarily an aviation-related degree; having a degree in something else won't really hurt your chances of being hired as a pilot, plus you'll have something else to fall back on if flying doesn't turn out to be the right profession for you. Good luck, Tanya, and please ask again if you have other questions.
