UND Aerospace programs reaccredited by Aviation Accreditation Board International

Three UND Aerospace programs have been reaccredited by the Aviation Accreditation Board International.

AABI President Guy Smith sent notice of the completed accreditation process to UND President Andrew Armacost and senior leaders in the John. D Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences at the beginning of August.

Notably, AABI again waived the requirement for a subsequent report that many universities must file to address any deficiencies that the accreditation organization might have found. UND has not been required to file follow-up paperwork with ABBI since 2002, marking an impressive stretch of excellence in aviation education.

“The reaccreditation of three vital programs in the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences is a powerful statement on the quality of aviation education the University of North Dakota provides,” said Armacost. “I commend our aerospace school’s faculty and staff for making UND a world leader in the vital fields of commercial aviation, air traffic control and uncrewed aircraft systems operations.”
