Spartan College of Aeronautics

Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology has for more than 80 years been teaching students like you how to take a passion for aviation and turn it into a career you will love. Our founder, W.G. Skelly, was convinced that air transportation would become the technology of the future and bring with it a need for skilled pilots and aircraft technicians. The year was 1928, and he was as right. This is why Spartan College, with its learning-by-doing teaching philosophy, has been a leader in aviation education for three quarters of a century.
