How many of MTSU’s graduates are hired by the FAA?
As of July 2006 every MTSU student that was recommended for hire
has received an offer of employment from the FAA.
I already have a college degree. Can I just take the AT-CTI
classes?
No. You must complete the classes necessary to obtain a
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace from MTSU. Check out
http://www.mtsu.edu/~admissn/team.htm to see which classes
from your school that will transfer to MTSU. Some classes are
offered only one semester; plan your schedule carefully.
How long does the program take to complete?
First-time college students and student with some college credit
will usually take four years to complete the program following
the suggested schedule. Students with a previous bachelor’s
degree do not have to have a minor so the program can usually be
completed in around 18 months.

MTSU?
As of January 2007 there are approximately 200 students in the
AT-CTI program.

Oklahoma City?
As of January 2007 the average wait time ranges from 4 months to

Do I need a get an FAA medical exam to attend MTSU?
Air Traffic Controllers are required to hold a first class
medical. This is not required for admission but is strongly
recommended especially if there is a family history of any
disqualifying conditions listed on the FAA’s website. To find
the aviation medical examiner nearest you, visit
http://www.faa.gov/pilots/amelocator.
Is there an age limit for the AT-CTI Program?
While MTSU has no restrictions on the age of a student, the FAA
will not hire anyone as an air traffic controller who has
reached his/her 31st birthday. The amount of coursework you need
to complete the program (i.e. 18 months up to 4 years) will
determine how much time you need. Students should plan to have
at least one year after graduation before reaching age 31. If
you are on the waiting list for two years and have not been
hired you may file one year extensions up to age 31.
