DCCC helicopter program takes off

Dodge City Community College has been granted permission to enroll veterans in the college helicopter flight program.

The Veteran’s Administration and the Arizona State Approving Agency gave the college permission, and according to DCCC Provost Adam John, students and officials knew the re-certification process was nearing a conclusion, so when approval was official, veterans signed up quickly.

“We are anticipating 20 students in the program for the fall semester,” John said.
