An SSC associate’s degree requires 60 credit hours. Therefore, Epic pilot training can fulfill nearly half of that requirement.

“This agreement with Epic Flight Academy offers a fantastic opportunity for individuals to not only earn college credit but also to complete a credential at Seminole State faster,” said Dr. Loretta Ovueraye, vice president of Academic Affairs at Seminole State. “With the credits earned from their licensure, students will be a step ahead and have a wide range of options to continue their education in preparation for a successful career in some of Florida’s high-demand, high-paying industries.”

“We are excited to announce this agreement with Seminole State College,” said Danny Perna, founder and CEO of Epic Flight Academy. “This provides a pathway for our flightstudents to turn their FAA-issued flying credentials into college credit toward a degree in more than 200 program options. Furthermore, Seminole State’s online courses offer flexibility to Epic pilots who have joined the workforce. A Seminole State College degree will enhance their career opportunities.”

Epic Flight Academy was founded in 1999 and currently has ten campuses. Epic offers FAA-certified flight and aircraft mechanic training. Seminole State College began offering classes in 1966 and has six sites. Seminole State offers associate and bachelor degrees.
