Dreaming of becoming a professional pilot — and earning a college degree at the same time?
Vegas Aviation is proud to partner with Purdue Global, one of the nation’s most respected aviation universities, to offer students an exciting way to earn up to 45 college credits toward a Bachelor of Science in Professional Flight for their flight training.
Future airline captains train through Purdue Global’s Professional Flight Program — combining flight training with an online bachelor’s degree.
Join us on Friday, October 31 at 12 PM for a special presentation from Andrew Rachmell, Director of Educational Partnerships at Purdue Global. Discover how your flight hours can count toward your degree, helping you save up to $28,000 in tuition and complete your education faster — all while building real-world flying experience in the skies over Las Vegas.
Earn College Credit for Your Flight Training
Through Purdue Global’s Professional Flight Degree Pathway, students who complete their pilot certificates and ratings with Vegas Aviation can receive up to 45 transfer credits toward a Purdue Global bachelor’s degree.
That means you can complete your degree in as little as 2–3 years — while continuing to fly, instruct, or work full-time.
This partnership provides a flexible, online university experience tailored for active pilots and flight students. You’ll gain a world-class education from Purdue Global — part of the prestigious Purdue University system — without having to step away from your cockpit or your career goals.
Save Money and Time While Advancing Your Career
By transferring flight-training credits, students can reduce tuition costs by up to $28,400 compared with traditional four-year university programs.
That’s not just smart — it’s strategic. Whether your goal is to fly for a major airline, corporate operator, or government agency, this pathway lets you keep your momentum while building both your flight time and your degree credentials.
Plus, you’ll study entirely online with Purdue Global’s flexible course structure — perfect for flight students balancing training schedules, jobs, and travel.
Why This Matters for Future Pilots
Airlines around the world are facing one of the largest pilot shortages in history. More than 600,000 new pilots will be needed by 2040, and students who combine flight training with a university degree have a clear advantage when it’s time to advance their careers.
Vegas Aviation and Purdue Global are working together to help the next generation of aviators launch their careers faster, more affordably, and with a strong educational foundation.
