Airframe and powerplant certificate
This two-year program prepares students for the Federal Aviation Administration airframe
and powerplant certificate. Students who successfully complete the program will be
awarded a certificate of completion. Upon passing the FAA written, oral, and practical
exams, graduates will be certified airframe and powerplant maintenance technicians.
Associate Degree with A&P certificate
The applied science degree in aviation maintenance is a terminal degree that can be
earned in two years. The degree goes beyond the airframe and powerplant certificate
program to include general education courses recommended by the Kansas Board of Regents.
Bachelor Degree with A&P certificate
The bachelor degree of science is designed for the maintenance technician with a future
goal of a management position. This would include shop foreman, lead technician, and
other supervisory positions. The additional courses will give the student background
for leadership roles in the aviation maintenance area. Courses in people skills and
communications, both verbal and written, are enhanced. Additional math skills as well
as computer skills will be developed. There are two additional specialty areas in
the maintenance field that are covered: the non-destructive testing of aviation parts
and aircraft, and also the use of advanced composites in larger transport category
aircraft. This degree would be a strong asset to the maintenance technician looking
for employment in the airline industry.
