Auburn University to phase out professional flight instruction
Students who hoped to become pilots with degrees from Auburn University will now have to earn their professional flight degrees through another flight school. (www.oanow.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
They have to save money somewhere in order to pay president Jay Gogue $2,542,865 per year. Universities lead the way as examples to government...cut out the frivolous programs like the ATC, border security, etc. and pad out what is really important...consultants, lobbyists and political friends promoting green programs.

Foreign enrollments are down.
...and now they make them learn to take off and land as well.
Locking cockpit doors and giving pilots pistols (decades behind the curve)kinda ended that tactic. Problem is there are a million other tactics that will work. The government always works reactively inlo proactively. Don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
Reckon the lust to be an airline pilot has faded to the point that it isn't worth the tuition to a high priced college when any sheepskin will do? You can get a lot of ratings for the price of one year at Auburn.

Somehow I doubt this..... Being a product of it myself.....
First off, I am betting they are paying the head football coach even more than the president. Second off I would say it's not much of a loss as the aviation science degree is a very limited degree. It has very little use or value outside of being a pilot. Employers don't see any translation to anything outside of flying. The aviation management degree, while not being as specific for flying a plane, is much better as a backup plan in case the student can't/doesn't want to keep flying. Plus I have seen from personal experience that almost no masters degrees are available to an aviation sciences B.S. where a management B.S. can go right into an MBA program that is very desirable in today's business world.
