What is a Pilot Professional?

Auburn's use of the term Pilot Professional instead of Professional Pilot reflects our philosophy in Flight Education.

When you graduate from our program, you will be much more than a person who is prepared to work as a pilot.

You will have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, equipped to understand and help manage the organization you serve.

As a result, you will compete stronger as an employment candidate ... your interviewer will recognize your potential for quicker promotion to leadership and supervisory positions (and the $$$ that comes with them!).

What is your Backup Plan?

What happens if something disqualifies you from serving as a pilot? What if personal or family issues make full-time cockpit duty impractical?

A pilot professional is also well-qualified for careers outside the cockpit, should a transition be required or desired. The Business Administration degree will make you a versatile and valuable asset to any employer!
