Common questions about South Carolina aviation degrees
- How much does an aviation degree cost in South Carolina?
- Summing Charleston Southern University's own published tuition, room and board, and flight fees, PilotBound estimates its 4-year bachelor's aviation degree at about $275,242 all in for an in-state student, the one program listed in South Carolina. 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 South Carolina 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 1,000 hours with a bachelor's, against the standard 1,500. That reduction is the concrete thing the degree buys beyond the credential itself.
- Where do these South Carolina 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 July 22, 2026, and a school can correct its listing anytime.
