Mission Statement

• The mission of the Aviation and Technical Education Department is to apply the Land Grant University philosophy to teaching and learning, discovery, research, and outreach. The department’s primary function is to provide students with learning opportunities in aviation, business, health professions, and trades and technology to advance their career options.
• We apply industry and research-guided practices as we recruit, prepare, and provide instruction for individuals in aviation, business, health professions, and trades and technology areas.
• We value serving all populations, developing the whole person, responding to the needs of the marketplace, and functioning as a part of the total higher education system – from certificate to post-graduate instruction.
• We use proven educational processes which include formal and informal instruction, experiential learning, leadership, and personal development at an undergraduate, graduate, and community-based level.

The department brings enthusiasm to the mission of Utah State University in supporting student-centered instruction. We believe in teaching students to be contributing members of their communities and societies.
