Common questions about New Jersey aviation degrees
How much does an aviation degree cost in New Jersey?
Summing Mercer County Community College's own published tuition, room and board, and flight fees, PilotBound estimates its 2-year associate's aviation degree at about $124,210 all in for an in-state student, the one program listed in New Jersey. Out-of-state totals and the line-by-line receipt are on the program's page. That is a PilotBound sum of published figures, not the school's quote.
Do New Jersey aviation degrees lower the 1,500-hour airline requirement?
Yes. The program listed here is a qualifying aviation degree under 14 CFR 61.160, which lowers the restricted-ATP minimum to 1,250 hours with an associate's, against the standard 1,500. That reduction is the concrete thing the degree buys beyond the credential itself.
Where do these New Jersey 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 November 13, 2026, and a school can correct its listing anytime.
