Hi, Caryn:
Nice to hear from you! For a complete national listing of colleges and universities that offer aviation training, please contact the University Aviation Association at uaa@auburn.edu or by calling them at 334-844-2434. The cost is around $25 for their publication entitled THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION GUIDE. They also have a listing of aviation scholarships for sale.
Some of the colleges that offer aviation are as follows: University of North Dakota, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (AZ and FL campuses), Western Michigan University, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, the Ohio State University, Purdue University, Parks College of St. Louis University, Florida Institute of Technology, Arizona State, and many others.
Best wishes to you and let me know if you have other questions,
Sincerely,
