University Programs
Partner university degree programs in aviation, paired with the flight training and ratings you need for a professional pilot career.
Your Path to the Airlines
American Flight Schools partners with a number of different universities that offer Bachelor Degree programs in aviation management or aviation flight. If your goal is to become a Commercial Pilot and enjoy a rewarding career in the aviation industry, American Flight Schools is one of the top choices in the country to earn your Professional Pilot ratings. While most airlines require an academic degree to be considered a top–tier candidate for open positions, they all require that you have the necessary pilot ratings and credentials. Obtaining those necessary certificates and ratings is where American Flight Schools will help you achieve your overall goals.

With 5 locations in 2 states across the Midwest and Western United States, American Flight Schools offers you a variety of geographic locations to train at. In addition, we have one of the largest, newest, best equipped, and well–maintained fleets of aircraft to choose from.
