MTSU student pilots in the university’s highly regarded aerospace department will be beneficiaries of a bridge program between MTSU and PSA Airways that potentially could land them jobs. The university and PSA Airways formally signed a partnership agreement yesterday (Wednesday) in the Business and Aerospace Building’s south lobby.

Paul Mosey, chief flight instructor at MTSU’s Flight Operations Center at Murfreesboro Airport says the bridge program is designed to allow MTSU students the opportunity for increased employment options after graduation, with the possibility of entering PSA’s pilot training program.

MTSU’s aerospace department has more than 750 majors in five concentrations: administration, technology, flight dispatch, maintenance management and professional pilot. In addition to administrators and staff, the department includes 14 faculty members and 35 flight instructors. Master’s degrees in aviation administration and aerospace education also are offered.
