Dear Prospective Student,
I'm pleased you are researching our aviation program here at Rocky Mountain College.
We have an excellent state-of-the-art aviation program with a firm foundation in the liberal arts. This is a great plus because we educate our future pilots in much more than just how to fly a plane. At Rocky, you will continue to learn about leadership, communication, decision making and team work while training with cutting-edge technology both in the air and on the ground.
We offer a four-year BS degree in Aeronautical Science (professional pilot) that prepares a graduate for a career as a pilot in a great variety of career fields. We also offer a BS degree in Aviation Management to prepare a graduate for a management position in aviation. Our graduates in both majors do most everything in aviation including working for the airlines, corporations, charter companies, the military, flight schools, airports, and missions organizations.
At Rocky, you have access to many scholarships and internships, and you'll have time to be involved in countless activities in the life of the college including inter-collegiate athletics, music, drama, clubs, student government and overseas trips. We have our own flight operations, so everyone working with you is committed to your success. Class sizes in aviation average only 11 students, so professors and other students will really get to know you.
If you think Rocky may be a good fit for you, call me at (406) 657-1060 so we can talk about your goals. Our admissions office can also arrange a tour of the campus, a chance to visit with me, and see our flight operations first hand. We can give you academic credit for previous flight training.
Rocky is personal and professional. Everyone knows everyone. You will have small classes, and a very professional staff of professors and flight instructors. We are very committed to our mission and know that you would enjoy your time here. This is a fun and exciting place to learn, and a great place to become an aviation professional.
Good luck with your decision and research.
