Education
BY JONATHAN PERRIELLO
TWU launches new aeronautics program Texas Woman’s University is carving a pathway for women into aviation after the establishment of the Doswell School of Aeronautical Sciences. “TWU is uniquely positioned as an educational institution because they’re a woman’s university,” said Clint Grant, dean of aviation, business and logistics at Tarrant County College. “I don’t know of any other woman’s university in the U.S. that’s doing anything like this.” Grant was recently selected to direct the program at TWU starting Oct. 23. What to expect The professional pilot track is targeted to stu- dents interested in commercial piloting and cer- ti ed ight instructor training. The management track is intended to certify students as commercial pilots while teaching ight operation management skills rather than instructor training.
The Doswell School of Aeronautical Sciences program aims to o set the underrepresentation of women in the aviation industry by providing them an alternate path when pursuing their career.
