“I chose UNK for the same reasons most of my classmates did – quality of education and value. UNK is hard to beat in either of those categories, especially in the aviation program. As a student, you’ll get the most out of your time in the air and on the ground, UNK faculty did a stellar job preparing me for a future career in the aviation industry and all of the challenges it will hold.”
