Hey Swan City, it’s your LALtoday team here — ready to return to school after our behind-the-scenes look at Southeastern University’s student aviation programs.
Spoiler alert: Students learn to fly actual airplanes out of the Lakeland airport while earning the degrees and certifications they need to soar into successful careers.
What we tried
Accompanied by instructor Dr. Kenneth Stevens and a pair of future pilots, we headed to Lakeland Linder International Airport and hopped in the cockpit for some hands-on learning.
SEU offers two paths to a career in aviation:
Both options put you on a runway to employment post-graduation, with opportunities to build flight hours and gain work experience while still in school.
Along the way, students will also earn their FAA Commercial Pilot Certification with Instrument Rating (Single and Multi-Engine Land) and become Certified Flight Instructors.
