This leads to possibilities for the growth of our flight training program, since SIU does not specify what flight facilities must be utilized for their off-campus credit programs. I'm certain that they would prefer our college-structured flight training facilities. Another feature of the SIU program is their Capstone Program. Under the provisions of this program, our A.S. degree in Commercial Flight or Air Traffic Control qualify to further reduce the number of university units required for graduation. A GPA of at least 2.25 from Mt SAC is required for entry to this program.
Tuition is , of course, another consideration.
And the best news is that financial aid is excellent for this SIU program. In fact, SIU Aviation Administration program officials spend a large portion of their time dealing with financial aid considerations for students with special requirements. You'll need to investigate the details as they will pertain to you further, but this is a program that is generally affordable. So things are in their infancy in this project. But it is an exciting one.
