Description: The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Aircraft Maintenance Technology degree is designed to provide students with strong General Education skills in support of their aviation maintenance knowledge. This degree prepares students to enter careers in aircraft (fixed-wing and rotorcraft) and structural manufacturing and maintenance. Graduates can potentially work in general, corporate, commercial, or military sectors. students who complete this program are eligible to apply for relevant Federal Aviation Administration written, oral, and practical exams. A Certificate of Completion (CCL) in Aircraft Maintenance Technology is fully embedded in this AAS.
