Soar Into a Bachelor’s Degree at Drury or Missouri State
If you’re looking to fly for an airline, OTC Aviation students have a direct route to a required bachelor’s degree. Thanks to partnerships with both Drury and Missouri State, graduates of OTC’s aviation program will be able to transfer seamlessly into Missouri State’s general studies bachelor’s degree program or into two different programs at Drury University. Students wishing to fly for a major airline need a four-year degree, one you can earn while also logging the 1,500 hours of flight time to earn an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate.
Low Cost, High Reward
Students will be charged the normal OTC Tier III tuition rate for ground school classes, which is $127 per credit hour for in-district students for the 2020-2021 school year. Hands-on flight labs will cost approximately $9,000 per flight lab course, with all four flight labs totaling close to $56,000.
Our flight courses occur at a TSA secured airport. You will need to present a valid driver’s license or government photo ID, as well as a valid Birth Certificate with the raised seal [a copy will not work], or Passport before you will be able to participate. This clearance can occur at our flight center or at the orientation that we hold prior to the start of the semester.
