How does the program work?
Students receive their training at an ATP flight training center while simultaneously taking classes from MSU. Academic courses are also offered on Mountain State University's main campus. The program is structured so that students can go from zero flight training to an instrument and multi-engine rated commercial pilot with flight instructor (CFI) certificates and an associate degree in as little as 16 months.
Major and regional airlines prefer to hire pilots with bachelor's degrees, and our program is designed to help you meet this requirement, gain the required flight experience, and advance your career!
