Research for undergrads Hands on and experiential Avg class size is 25, Very collaborative, group projects are the norm Aviation is off campus College of aviation College of engineering College of arts and science - everything that's not engineering College of business Tutoring available Good connections to industry ie Boeing, Raytheon Gen Ed requirements: depends on major Career services: specialized as students are specialized in industry Internships are common - usually summer. 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. All are Automatically considered for merit when apply Differences between campuses: Flight is the same between campuses, Prescott can be more cost efficient. Prescott is known aerospace engineering, and only campus with a jet propulsion lab for undergrads. Students are doing hands on work from the beginning.
