From Our Oustanding Graduates:
I enjoyed Universal so much, and after graduation felt very fortunate when they offered me a position as a flight instructor. I spent a little over two years continuing my education as I provided one to new students.
I am grateful for the kickstart Universal Helicopters gave me. I have never regretted my decision to become a helicopter pilot.”
Kory H.
Universal Career Program Graduate
Director of Operations, Classic Helicopter Group
“Thanks to Universal I was more than prepared for the airlines when I graduated. With the rigorous training and fast-paced environment I didn’t feel at all overwhelmed when I began training at Skywest. Additionally, transitioning to an instructor at Universal immediately upon course completion allowed me to build enough time to be hired at Skywest only one month after I graduated from Baylor, and for that I am very grateful!”
Kaitlin E.
Baylor Aviation Sciences Graduate
First Officer, Skywest Airlines
“While I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Universal, it was not until I moved on in my career that I realized how fine of a school it is. The level of training was beyond comparison.
They taught me how to learn, how to be an aviator and how to come home safely to my wife and children. I owe all the success I’ve had in aviation to the solid foundation Universal provided me.”
Keith S.
Universal Career Program Graduate
Pilot, Petroleum Helicopters International
“Universal was crucial in preparing me towards achieving my dream of becoming an airline pilot. In training I was held to a high standard, and received excellent instruction. As an instructor, I did my best to keep that standard for my students, and with myself. This helped me to understand and to strive for excellence and professionalism, crucial for any pilot, but especially for the airlines. I could not have made it without Baylor and UFC.“
