Degrees Available For Wings Students, Flight Training Available
For ERAU Students
The Twin Cities of St. Paul and
Minneapolis grew just a bit closer this week as Wings Aviation, St.
Paul’s premier flight school, joined forces with Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University’s Minneapolis campus.
This new alliance will provide the flight school students at
Wings the opportunity to pursue four-year undergraduate degrees,
Master’s Degrees and even Doctorate Degrees through
Embry-Riddle’s courses in aeronautical sciences. Students
enrolled in Embry-Riddles programs can now take advantage of the
flight training delivered in Wings Aviation’s fleet of
aircraft.
Wings Aviation features the latest avionics and aircraft
platforms from Cirrus Design and Cessna, and advanced training for
adverse attitude recovery in Citabria and Extra 300 aircraft. In
addition, the instructors at Wings Aviation can train pilots in the
newest Light Sport Aircraft from REMOS. This new category provides
students the opportunity to earn a Sport Pilot Certificate in as
few as twenty hours, with no medical exam required.
Jeff Dalton, Chief Pilot at Wings Aviation expressed excitement
at the new relationship: “We’re thrilled to be able to
seamlessly offer the degree programs of Embry-Riddle in combination
with the professional flight training to our student pilots. This
will open doors to student pilots from all over the United States
to rapidly grow their aviation careers with the highly rated
offerings we can each deliver.”
Wings Aviation’s professional Certified Flight Instructors
provide the complete start-to-finish training to get students into
aviation careers worldwide. With the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University degree programs now part of the mix, student pilots from
around the country can take advantage of this powerful training
opportunity to launch careers in a variety of aviation
specialties.
Keith Rittenberry, Director of Academic Support at ERAU, said
“We are pleased to be associated with such an innovative and
forward-thinking flight school as Wings Aviation, and we expect
great results for our students as they pursue their aviation
careers and advancement in this industry.”
With degree programs in Aeronautical Sciences, Aviation
Maintenance Management, Space Operations and Aviation Safety,
Embry-Riddle leads the industry and has earned global recognition
in academic excellence.
