Faced with the

of which would have forced the school to close, it was acquired by ITT
Educational Services, Inc., the parent company of the ITT Technical
Institutes in June 2009, and subsequently became a for-profit
institution.
“The Bachelor of
Science degree program in Aviation Flight Operations will be phased out
over the next several years as the students who are currently enrolled
in the program are allowed the opportunity to graduate within the normal
timeframe for completion. Effective immediately, no new classes will be
started in this program” Students completing these courses could earn pilot certificates and ratings issued by the FAA; commercial pilot certificate, with instrument and multi-engine rating. Students also had the option for preparation for a Flight Instructor Certificate. |
