Cost Overview

Most families pay around $30,900 annually after aid, though this varies little by income level. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay $30,261, while those from higher-income families ($48,000-$75,000) pay $32,662. Over two years, expect total costs around $62,000.

Only 13% of students take federal loans, reflecting the program's focus on quick entry into high-paying aviation careers. Those who do borrow graduate with $19,188 in debt, translating to $203 monthly payments. With median earnings of $59,093 ten years out, graduates earn nearly three times their debt load. The 97% employment rate shows strong industry demand for aircraft mechanics and avionics technicians.

Colorado residents get the best deal here since 94% of students are in-state and tuition stays flat regardless of residency. Students who can pay upfront or minimize borrowing benefit most from the program's direct pipeline to $60,000+ aviation jobs.
