The
mission of the Rocky Aviation Program is to educate and train
individuals to be professionals and leaders in the aviation industry.
Our graduates are ready to begin successful careers in a wide variety
of jobs in professional aviation. We offer Bachelor of Science degrees
in Aeronautical Science (Professional Pilot) and in Aviation
Management. Our graduates get meaningful jobs, and work in many
different sectors of the industry including as pilots or managers in the
airlines, corporate aviation, cargo, missions, hospitals, professional
flight training and more.
We are one of only about 30 colleges or universities accredited by
the Aviation Accreditation Board International, which confirms the
quality of our entire program.
Our flight training is conducted in Piper and Beechcraft aircraft
owned by the college. We have glass cockpit aircraft and sophisticated
simulators that prepare graduates for competitive careers in aviation.
Further training is conducted using state-of-the-art Canadair Regional
Jet (CRJ) flight management system simulation. We are about
professionalism, excellent classroom instruction, and safe, efficient
flight training--all with solid personal relationships.
Rocky´s aviation program is built on the foundation of a strong
liberal arts education. Employers want people with a broad education as
well as strong technical knowledge. The ability to speak, write, problem
solve, lead and work on a team are critical, and they are what Rocky is
all about. With this in mind, in the classroom we emphasize human
performance, ethical behavior, and life-long professional growth. We
are very supportive of the broad education our students get across the
entire curriculum of the college.
Aviation is the second largest major at Rocky, so our students have a
significant presence across all activities on campus. Outside of the
classroom, aviation students further their educations through
participation in optional activities such as intercollegiate athletics,
band and choir, study abroad, hiking and ski trips, and countless clubs.
Aviation students are on the football, basketball, soccer and ski
teams, they play in the band and sing in the choir, and an aviation
student has been the student body president four years in a row.
Recently, at least one aviation student has studied for a semester in
Argentina and in Holland, taken part in an archaeological dig near the
Sea of Galilee, studied ecology in Costa Rica, the Galapagos Islands and
in Hawaii, and toured Austria and Germany learning about art and music,
to name just a few activities. In addition, many have participated in
aviation internships locally and across the country.
The Aviation Program at Rocky teaches students the skills and
knowledge necessary for a career in aviation, as well as helping them
earn an education for life.
"I love the small classes, where I can really participate in
discussions. Everyone at Rocky-my flight instructor, my professors, and
even the business office-is committed to my success. I love the personal
touch at Rocky."
Jessica Smith, junior
Alberton, Montana
"The last student I gave a dispatcher practical exam to was so well
spoken, so organized in his thoughts, and very, very smart. He is a
great reflection of what they teach at Rocky Mountain College-the
well-rounded education makes a big difference."
FAA Examiner from Seattle, who conducts Dispatcher Practical Exams
(Rocky is one of only 7 colleges in the U.S. to offer dispatcher certification)
