All Professional Pilot Programs in California
Every college in California that reports a pilot program to the U.S. Department of Education — plus the private schools that don’t. Private trade schools take no federal student aid, so they never appear in federal data and every scraped directory misses them. We add them by hand.

What Professional Pilot Pays in California
Where this list comes from: the U.S. Department of Education’s IPEDS Completions survey (2023–24) for federally-reporting colleges, plus
private schools verified by hand — many private trade schools take no federal student aid, which keeps them out of IPEDS and out of every scraped directory. Graduate counts are exactly as reported; private schools do not report completions. Confirm the campus location before you enroll. Missing or wrong?
Tell us and we’ll fix it.
