Gannon University has launched a new Aviation & Business Management degree program.
In a partnership with Fundamentals Flight Training at Erie International Airport (KERI), the program is slated to take flight in the fall of 2024.
Gannon will offer both associate and bachelor’s degree options that will have students take to the sky within their first semester, according to university officials.
Business management instruction is delivered by Gannon’s Dahlkemper School of Business, while Fundamentals Flight Training at Erie International Airport, just minutes from campus, provides hands-on ground and flight training, they noted.
Students can earn three FAA certificates — private pilot, instrument rating, and commercial — in two years. The program also offers the opportunity to become a Certified Flight Instructor while pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
A co-op option provides students the ability to replace course credits with placement at Fundamentals Flight Training to gain work experience and training within the BS degree program, university officials added.
