Aircraft Structural Technology (A.A.S.)

The Aircraft Structural Technology Associate of Applied Science (AAS) is a degree program that emphasizes aircraft structural theory and practical application necessary for successful employment in the field. Graduates with the AAS tend to start out at a higher wage and/or advance at a faster pace than those with just the one year certificate. All students MUST be accepted to the program after acceptance to MGA. To be accepted to the program you must complete and submit an application to the School of Aviation as stated on the Aviation Technology application.

A grade of "C" or higher is required in all core (ASTP) classes in order to graduate from this program.
