Aviation Division
Let your career take flight in as little as 24 months with an aviation degree from LCCC.
This is a career with wings! Many studies over the past few years predict a growth shortage of pilots worldwide and that the number of pilots entering the profession is dropping. A degree in one of the two aviation programs at LCCC can prepare you for this promising field.
Students can choose from two Aviation programs that prepare you to work as a commercial pilot, certified flight instructor or in an aviation-related field. All aviation courses are taught at Lehigh Valley International Airport.
