The SLCC Professional Pilot Degree Program combines a wide spectrum of academic, simulator and in-flight instruction into a comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for a fixed- wing and/or rotary- wing pilot career in the aviation industry.  Students successfully completing the program requirments will receive a 2- year Accosciate of Science (AS) Degree in Professional Pilot with an emphasis in fixed- wing, rotary- wing or both as desired.  For students interested in pursuing advanced degrees, SLCC's professional Pilot credits can be easily transfered into many colleges. 

In addition to the Professional Pilot degree, which requires successful completion of the Private Pilot and Instrument Licenses, students may take a variety of fixed-wing and rotary-wing license and certificate-associated academic courses and flight instruction, such as Commercial Pilot and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI).
