Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science (Concentration in Air Traffic Control)

This degree program prepares you to perform satisfactorily at the ATC Training Academy in Oklahoma City. However, earning this degree is no guarantee that the FAA will hire you when you are ready for employment. Also, all new controllers must pass an 8 hour FAA pre-employment test and, if successful in securing a job offer, attend a 12-week training FAA training program. Throughout their career, air traffic controllers must pass regular proficiency exams and medical and drug tests.
