Overview

Aviation students can begin flying their freshman year at the on-campus airport within walking distance of the aviation learning community residence on our main campus.

You will have the chance to fly as a freshman with the Bowling Green State University Flight Technology and Operations major. With an emphasis on hands-on learning, students in the flight technology and operations program take classes that blend flight training in our young aircraft fleet with traditional classroom coursework studying avionics, management and flight operations.

Students also participate in a cooperative education experience to gain industry experience and build a professional network.

Students take most of their classes at the Bowling Green Flight Center, located on-campus at the Ohio-based Wood County Regional Airport.

Career Prospects:

Bowling Green State University has a strong track record of employment for graduates of the aviation studies program. The airline industry is cyclical, but air transport, cargo and ground operations career prospects are strong, with aircraft manufacturer Boeing reporting it believes “the market fundamentals driving air traffic demand remain strong and we remain confident in the long-term strength of the aviation industry.”

Upon graduation, our students are employed as pilots, operations staff, flight instructors, charter pilots and work in the recreation and sightseeing industry. After building flight time, our graduates pursue employment as commercial pilots for airlines, air freight and cargo, charter operations or corporate flight careers.
