Figures are each school's own published tuition, room & board, and flight fees, summed by PilotBound into a planning estimate, except where a school publishes no flight total and that line is a PilotBound estimate, labeled as one on the program's page. They are not the schools' quoted prices, and PilotBound is not affiliated with the schools. Disclaimer & removal policy.

Common questions about Iowa aviation degrees

How much does an aviation degree cost in Iowa?
Across the 2 Iowa aviation degree programs listed here, PilotBound's all-in estimates for an in-state student run from $96,013 to $306,784, summing each school's own published tuition, room and board, and flight fees. Residency and flight-fee structure move the totals most. These are PilotBound sums of published figures, not the schools' quotes.
Do Iowa aviation degrees lower the 1,500-hour airline requirement?
Yes. Every program listed here is a qualifying aviation degree under 14 CFR 61.160: a bachelor's lowers the restricted-ATP minimum to 1,000 hours and an associate's to 1,250, against the standard 1,500. That reduction is the concrete thing the degree buys beyond the credential itself.
Where do these Iowa college figures come from?
Every line item is the school's own published figure, tuition from its tuition page and flight fees from its flight-fee schedule, each linked from the program's page. PilotBound sums them into the all-in estimate; the schools do not set or endorse that total. The directory was last checked September 28, 2026, and a school can correct its listing anytime.
