About the Program

AVIATION STUDIES

Students in Aviation Studies will spend their freshmen year building a foundation in both engineering and aeronautics through a comprehensive curriculum designed to introduce foundational information and skill sets. Students will explore career pathways and consider further course options, including aviation maintenance, transportation and logistics, and space flight. From sophomore year forward students will participate in a concurrent enrollment program hosted by Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, the world’s largest accredited university specializing in aviation and aerospace. The premise of the concurrent enrollment plan is simple; it introduces high school students to rigorous STEM-related courses that prepare students for college while providing them a clear pathway to college graduation and high-paying jobs in thrilling and dynamic industries. In this program, students are exposed to multiple career pathways within the field and prepare for a career-recognized industry certification, the Remote Pilot Airman Certificate with a small UAS Rating (Part 107), and/or Private Pilot Certification. In addition, students participate and maintain an academically rigorous schedule that supports NJ high school graduation requirements. The Aviation Studies program supports students as they build a solid comprehension of aviation sub-branches, from principles of the field to contemporary trends and cross-sectoral career options.
