Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology
Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology is a nonprofit educational institution located in New York, dedicated to providing academic programs in aviation, engineering, technology, and management.
History
The institution was founded in 1932 as the Casey Jones School of Aeronautics, primarily training aircraft maintenance technicians at Newark Airfield. During the early years, it operated closely with Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who supported the expansion of the school to LaGuardia Airport in the 1940s. This marked the beginning of the Academy of Aeronautics, which later evolved into the College of Aeronautics.
Following World War II, the College consolidated its operations at LaGuardia Airport and ceased operations at Newark. In 1996, the curriculum was expanded to include nine new programs, offering the first bachelor of science degrees. This period also marked significant developments, including a major campus expansion in 1998 with a 35,000-square-foot addition.
In September 2004, the institution was officially renamed Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology to honor one of its founders. This change reflected its expanded scope beyond aviation to include broader fields of engineering and technology.
Programs and Achievements
Vaughn College offers a range of academic programs, including associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees in fields such as aviation, engineering, management, and technology. The institution is notable for pioneering programs like the nation’s first aircraft design program and being the first institution in New York to offer a degree in mechatronics engineering (2007).
Vaughn College has a strong job placement record, with over 95% of its graduates employed or pursuing further education within a year. The institution is recognized for its role in supporting intergenerational mobility, having been ranked highly in this area by national studies.
Facilities and Strategic Development
In addition to its main campus, Vaughn College operates an Aviation Training Institute facility. The institution has invested heavily in renovations, including the construction of a 200-bed residence hall in 2007. Strategic planning has been central to its growth, focusing on enhancing academic offerings, leveraging technology, and fostering diversity within the campus community.
Vaughn College continues to be a leading educational institution in its field, known for its commitment to providing futureproof education in rapidly evolving industries like aviation, engineering, and technology.

NBC recently aired a segment featuring Vaughn College President Dr. Sharon DeVivo addressing the air traffic controller staffing shortage and how the College is training air traffic controllers to help fill the gap. Vaughn was one of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) original Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) partner institutions, and in April was approved to offer the Enhanced AT-CTI so students can bypass the FAA Academy training in Oklahoma City. Watch the full segment to see how Vaughn is creating positive change in the skies: (fb)
