Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay about $35,431 annually, while those making over $110,000 pay the full $43,073. The four-year total ranges from $142,000 to $172,000, making this one of the more expensive flight training programs in the country. Only 24% of students receive institutional grants averaging $18,771.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $23,666, translating to monthly payments of $251. That debt burden looks manageable against median earnings of $84,131 ten years out. The aviation industry's high starting salaries help justify the premium tuition. Students from wealthy families get the worst deal since financial aid is limited. Low-income students who qualify for federal aid and the few who land institutional scholarships come out ahead. The investment pays off if you're serious about becoming a pilot or aerospace engineer.
