AA/AS in Air Transportation

This applied associate degree prepares students for entry-level roles such as commercial pilot, air traffic controller, airline dispatcher or aviation manager. Students choose from four option tracks, though every student samples a bit of each so the decision rests on real exposure. The commercial pilot track requires a private license, instrument rating and commercial license, with flight hours completed at a Part 141 school at a cost beyond tuition and fees. A first-class medical certificate is needed before flight training begins. The degree transfers directly into the Bachelor of Applied Science in Aeronautical Science. Curriculum maps for each track outline a suggested course sequence. Green River College publishes this program in its catalog, where the full list of required courses sits beside program details and faculty contacts. Prospective students can review those details, compare them with their own goals, and consult an advisor or the named contacts with questions before enrolling.
