- Faculty, adjunct faculty, and instructors bring a combined 300 years of operational aviation and real-world experience into the classroom from disciplines of airlines, corporate aviation, air traffic control, Department of Defense, airport management, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and government.
- We offer students the opportunity to apply to aviation internships all over the country. Currently, we’re connected to paid and volunteer opportunities at Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Raytheon, Tinker Air Force Base Airfield Operations, OAC, Leidos, Max Westheimer Airport, and UPS, to name a few.
- The OU School of Aviation includes learning labs like the Simulation Center with state-of-the-art Air Traffic Control and Advanced Aviation Training Device simulation. Students are exposed to a wide variety of weather conditions and gain proficiency in weather-related decision making in flying and controlling.
- Students join a legacy of more than 75 years of flight training at OU. The aviation facilities cultivate a small-college feel and atmosphere with all aviation courses taught at the OU-owned Max Westheimer Airport with class D airspace and full precision approaches.
- You can join a number of student organizations that span across aviation disciplines, including the American Association of Airport Executives, Sooner Aviation Club, Sooner Air Traffic Control Association, National Intercollegiate Flying Association, Flying Sooners, National Gay Pilots Association, and Women in Aviation.
