Within the halls of the College of Business & Aviation (CoBA) at Fairmont State University, there's a commitment that runs deep - an unwavering dedication to prepare the business leaders of tomorrow. Our faculty and staff passionately believe in delivering not just an education, but an experience that nurtures, responds, and empowers students, employers, and our community. CoBA proudly houses Fairmont State's Aviation Center of Excellence, standing tall as the inaugural Federal Aviation Administration Approved Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 141 pilot training center in our state. This distinction paves the way for a structured, comprehensive training program enriched with experience flight instructor oversight. At CoBA, we don't just aim for excellence - we live it. Our specialized business program accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of education and relevance.
