Delaware State University Aviation graduates will have a direct path to becoming a pilot with a major airline through a new affiliated partnership between the institution and United Airlines.
The university and United celebrated the new partnership during a ceremony at the Delaware Airpark, home to the university’s aviation program. The event was also attended by nine alumni who are now United Airlines pilots.
