College of Aviation Science and Technology

INNOVATIVE, FUTURE-FOCUSED PROGRAMS AND EXPERIENCES PREPARE TO YOU FOR CURRENT AND FUTURE CAREERS

Your aspirations for the future should be unrestricted by the constant advances in technology. In 1932, Lewis began as an aviation technical school, becoming the precursor to today’s highly regarded College of Aviation, Science, and Technology.

A significant portion of your education here consists of hands-on instruction and real-world application. The practical and cutting-edge nature of the Lasallian method is a result of its emphasis on direct application. 

Small class sizes ensure that faculty with real-world experience will get to know you and your career goals, providing you with mentorship and guidance from the first day of class until you graduate. Lewis is an ideal place to earn a degree because the faculty will challenge and support you, and students can access numerous academic support services.

The College of Aviation, Science, and Technology encompasses the disciplines of aviation, biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and mathematics.
