Texas A&M University Central Texas offers the only state-supported four-year professional pilot program in Texas. The Professional Pilot program is 100% online, so you can study to move forward in your career from home or anywhere with Internet access.
The Aviation Science-Professional Pilot program offers both junior- and senior-level coursework. All lower-level core aviation and flight courses are transferred into A&M - Central Texas, as we do not have a flight school.
This includes the required FAA Instrument Rating and the FAA Commercial Flight Certificate.
As a student in the Professional Pilot program, you will concentrate on aircraft flight operations and be further prepared though science/technology orientated coursework.
This program focuses on advanced aeronautical ratings complemented by business administration, management, and communication skills for professional pilots in the civil and military aviation industries.
