Value

Tuition here is higher than most. Undergraduate students can expect to pay $48,000 per year on top of their flight costs. Flight costs are estimated to be another $48,000 for all of the flight time required to graduate. If a student comes in with a private pilot certificate already in hand, the flight costs drop to about $32,000 over four years.

The school does offer financial aid to eligible students as well as scholarships. Merit-based, competitive, transfer, and other private scholarships are available.

Saint Louis partners with some regional airlines to give students the chance to gain conditional jobs offers for after graduation. Those airlines include:

  • Envoy Air
  • Republic Airlines
  • Mesa Airlines

Fleet and Facilities

The university offers three different aircraft that students can train in. They also host a Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ-700) simulator.

The fleet consists of:

  • Diamond DA-20s
  • Piper Archers
  • Piper Seminoles

Students finishing the flight program can take advantage of the 500-hour ATP reduction.

Campus Life

Students have the choice to live on or off campus and to purchase a dining plan. The school also provides mentoring programs for students to connect with peers, alumni, and SLU industry partners.
