Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology is a small, accredited degree-granting college–with a big commitment to student success. We recently added a $1 million, state-of-the-art flight simulator laboratory, invested another $300,000 in a new engineering laboratory and residence hall and are in the midst of a $20 million expansion of our academic and training facilities that will include a new library. The result: a state-of-the-art campus–with sweeping views of Manhattan–where you'll find a culture of excellence and rigorous degree, professional, technical and certification programs.
