This is awesome and should help attract more students not from this area

UofMTigerTim · 08-16-2018 09:09 PM

Now they offer a flight program!

I tired to do this back in the 90's and had to settle for a Business Degree.

Tigerx3 · 08-16-2018 09:20 PM

Will also include specialty training in piloting drones

holyterror · 08-16-2018 09:49 PM

That’s a good thing. Delta state draws in students from all over the country with their commercial aviation program.

80sTiger · 08-16-2018 09:56 PM

MTSU has a pretty major one too I believe

ncrdbl1 · 08-16-2018 10:58 PM

Can't rely on military to train all future pilots.

Through the airport, the city was selected as 1 of 10 FAA drone pilot programs. Hopefully the U of M can leverage this and other opportunities.

I might give this a try. I work at fed ex and I assume they would reimburse me for this program

Tiger1983 · 08-17-2018 07:01 AM

The degree program should have no issues drawing applicants. Offering the program was a wise decision

Seems like you had to go to Delta State to get a degree in Aviation

Actually I believe it's Delta State that has had one for quite awhile.

TigerinFL · 08-19-2018 10:34 PM

guess since FedEx bought Flying Tigers years ago it's only appropriate.
