Besides being a public airport, the Kent State University Airport is used by the College of Aeronautics and Engineering for its in-house Aeronautics program which provides flight training and other professional aeronautical training including Air Traffic Control and Airport Management studies to enrolled Kent State University students. The airport also operates a Flight Clinic for the general public who are interested in attaining private pilot instruction. Kent State had a leading Pilot Training Bridge Program with United Express designed to help highly skilled and qualified students migrate as a pilot into the airline industry.[3]
