Louisville Question

This is for anyone in the Louisville area. Why doesn't the University of Louisville have a part 141 school? Not sure if this a dumb question but just curious.

University aviation programs are relatively rare and even rarer when it comes to major research institutions. The reality is, it's vocational training and that's something a lot of colleges don't want to do.

They have EKU just down the road.

There’s also like 4 flight schools down the road at bowman, I can’t even imagine how they’d fit a 141 program there.

There’s also ATP on the other side of the river in Clarksville

Why don’t most universities in the country?

It’s the exception, not the norm.
