Can get academic credit but have to do some papers and other academic work to get credit Co-ops are 9 months along, just for engineers Hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding, Sedona is close by, clubs 3d printers and maker space Air traffic control major Every major has a study abroad - cost is extra Student Union with grab and go, also full cafeteria Less than 3000 students Focus is on engineering more than flight, Daytona more flight oriented Women get extra merit.
