College Programs

 

A college education is a definite advantage in the aviation industry.  Most Major Airlines prefer their pilots to have a degree, and approved Bachelor's degree programs may provide 500 "credit" hours toward an ATP Certificate.  Approved Associate's degree programs may provide 250 "credit" hours.  That can put you a step ahead in the journey to the coveted Captain's seat. 

CTI Professional Flight Training offers endless possibilities and ultimate flexibility to the college students considering a career as a pilot.  With a large fleet of new aircraft and a full staff of Certified Flight Instructors, we can accommodate almost any schedule.  CTI Professional Flight Training's flagship collegiate programs:

University of Memphis Bachelor of Science in Commercial Aviation
