| COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS
NAME CHANGE APPROVED |
 |
Queens, NY -The New York State
Board of Regents has approved a name
change for the
College of Aeronautics.
|
|
Effective
September 1,
2004, the institution will be known as
Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology. “This name change reflects our deep
roots in the aviation industry, while at the
same time focuses on the College’s future
as a greatly expanded academic institution
with new programs to include engineering
and master’s level management
offerings,” said
Dr. John C. Fitzpatrick,
president
of the College of
Aeronautics. “
The name change is part of the College’s
five-year strategic plan that was
developed in 2001. It began in 1932 when
Charles S. “Casey” Jones, a pioneer aviator
and aviation company executive, foresaw the need for highly trained technicians
to design, build and service aircraft
and engines. George A. Vaughn, Jr. and
Lee D. Warrender joined with Casey Jones
in founding the Casey Jones School of
Aeronautics, and as of September 1986,
the College of Aeronautics.
From 1941 to 1945, the Casey Jones
School of Aeronautics devoted its
resources to the nation in its war effort.
During World War II, more than 20,000
technicians were trained for the armed
forces. From its founding through 1947,
the school offered design and maintenance
programs, graduating well-trained
technicians, many of whom went on to
secure leadership positions in the aviation
and aerospace industries.
In 1996, the College completely
revised its curricula offering, resulting in
nine new academic programs, including
for the first time the bachelor of science
and an associate degree in flight.
Today, Vaughn College of Aeronautics
and Technology is a private, four-year college
committed to providing its students
with the excellent education and skills
needed to achieve professional success in
technology, management and aviation. Its
student body of 1,300, and its student/faculty
ratio of 11 to 1, ensures a highly personalized
learning environment. A full 93-percent of Vaughn College graduates are
employed within six months of obtaining
their degrees, and they work in 20 countries
and all 50 states.
Vaughn College of Aeronautics and
Technology is accredited by Middle States
Association of Colleges and Schools and
the Technology Accreditation Commission
of the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology (ABET). |
