im joking. i just said that because i saw your name and assumed it would appeal to you. the only schools around you are vaughn near LGA and dowling out on long island. there a lot of schools forming CTI programs and trying to become certified with the FAA, but no list of developing programs has been released. theres a big list of already existing schools. are you looking for more to pop up around NY?

lol....no im currently enrolled in the university of maryland eastern shore and we been waiting for the faa approval on our cti program for almost a year now. I have two more semesters until i graduate so im running out of time here. so im looking at school to possible transfer but also get my aviation management degree.

aviation management/ aviation science are the most worthless degrees ever whipped up. Sure I have all my aviation accidents memorized, and the two safety, and physiology classes have made me a "well-rounded" individual, or at least as marketable as a high school graduate. So I'd definitely switch to an approved CTI school if you can..

yea i think i might wait it out another semester and see what happens at my school if nothing im going to cti school.

I'm getting in and out as fast as I can. Why go get a four year management degree when you can get the same ATC education in one year? Besides if you do move up into management you don't get to control planes(which I don't think would be fun), and I would say it's safe to say that nobody likes management. Just my two cents though.

Try wasting 4... Just graduated with my B.A. in december.. CTI started last week.. Luckily I have some pilot certs. so I am getting a fair amount of credit, pretty much a 1 year or less fast track. But if I were you, pull the trigger and act..
