Landing a Highly Select FAA Program

Recent events underscore the direct link between national safety and security and the availability of highly qualified, highly professional air-traffic controllers to serve America's airports. Because Kent State is home to Ohio's first and only accredited aviation program, it was not surprising that the FAA turned to the university to help fill this critical, national need. It chose Kent State to offer Ohio's only degree program in air-traffic control, making it one of only 23 such programs at colleges and universities nationwide.
