High Demands in Aviation

LeTourneau University's College of Aviation & Aeronautical Science is a national leader, and students have recognized in droves the extraordinary value of a premier program that's situated within a comprehensive and distinctively Christian university. Our Aviation enrollment is higher than ever and now exceeds the planned capacity of the Abbott Aviation Center. With high, ongoing demand for pilots, maintenance technicians, and other aviation professionals, only our limited space keeps us from admitting more students and ensuring they receive a top-quality, hands-on, thoroughly Christian education.
