Dreaming of a career in the cockpit? Whether you’re a C‑TECH aviation student ready for the next step, a high schooler weighing your options, or a family helping someone chart their path, this open house is for you. Join us for a relaxed, one-hour session where we’ll walk students and parents through the options for turning an interest in flying into a college degree and a professional pilot career.

You’ll tour our facility, see our Diamond aircraft up close, meet our instructors, and get your questions answered — including the big one: how do we pay for it?

Take Flight Aviation

🎓 Your Degree + Flight Training Options

Through our college partnerships, you can earn a respected aviation degree while you complete your flight training right here at Take Flight. Two great paths:

Utah Valley University (UVU)

One of the largest collegiate aviation programs in the country. Earn a bachelor’s degree in Professional Pilot or Aviation Management — coursework completed through UVU, flight training completed with us. Learn more »

Purdue Global

A respected, 100% online degree you can pair with your flight training. Purdue Global offers bachelor’s degrees in Professional Flight and Aviation Management, with up to 45 transfer credits for your FAA certificates and ratings — so you could finish in as little as 2–3 years, with a tuition reduction for training at a partner flight school. Learn more »


💰 Paying For It — Financing Made Simple

Cost shouldn’t stand between you and the flight deck. We work with a trusted student lending partner to offer financing options designed to help families fund both college and flight training — including the ability to start now and pay over time, so you can focus on flying, not the bill. We’ll walk through exactly how it works at the open house.


🎤 Special Guests

Andrew Rachmell of Purdue Global will join us as a guest speaker to walk you through the degree pathway and answer your questions directly.

You’ll also be able to talk with former and current college-program graduates — pilots who’ve walked this exact path and can share what the journey is really like.
