CTI question

Hello,

Since the word going around is that OTS applicants have a very slim chance of getting controller positions, I have decided to investigate on CTI schools. First off I took the AT-SAT and got a 94.9 and have a BS in Aviation Management. Now I have been looking at Purdues requirements in obtaining the CTI and the classes are as such(www.tech.purdue.edu/at/academics/undergraduate/am_faa_cti.cfm):

AT 100 Introduction to Aviation
AT 106 Basic Aircraft Science
AT 144 Fundamentals of Flight
AT 147/247 Aircraft Systems I and II or AT 187
AT 285 ATC Procedures and Weather
AT 481 Aviation Safety
Additional CTI specific coursework includes:
AT 369 Air Traffic Control (may be used as an AM Selective)​

My question is since have basically completed all these classes besides ATC Procedures and Weather and Air Traffic Control, would I be able to transfer my credits and complete the 2 additional classes needed in order to complete my CTI? If anyone has any comments, suggestions, or has been down this road I would appreciate any advice. Thanks​

Unless you took them at Purdue, I'd say you would have to contact the department head at Purdue to see what would/would not transfer. I know some schools' credits are worth 1/2 credit at other schools, but you could always talk to an academic adviser and see what they allow to transfer from which schools.
 
I am at Purdue right now, and am getting a BS in aviation management with a CTI add-on. You have to go through the program and satisfy all of the classes that apply to the major (pro aviation). You can't just get the add-on to my knowledge.
 
Yeah I was going to give them a call on monday to find out if there is somthing I can workout with them. Im in Michigan and since the nearest school where I can obtain the CTI add-on is Purdue, you would think that there is somthing that could be done so I dont have to retake classes I already took. I am a Aviation Science and Administration major, and I have taken all the classes besides the specific Air Traffic Control classes that are required to obtain the CTI. It sucks that Michigan doesnt offer a CTI program and the nearest school is 3hrs away.
 
What'd you find out?

I wonder if the FAA has set certain accreditation requirements for CTI schools that'd make transferring credits difficult.
 
I didnt get a chance to call, however for sure tomorrow. I was doing a little more research and realized that being in the detroit area the two nearest schools, should I choose to go the CTI route, would be Kent State or Purdue, I guess cost will play a big factor, and how many additional classes I would have to take.
 
Any word yet? I am interested to know about transferring these credits I've already received at Lewis if I were to switch schools. I don't care for their program much...
 
Well I ended up talking to an advisor from the Minneapolis school, and I was told to send in my transcripts and she would check what other classes would transfer. She said it would still take roughly a year to complete and it would be 3 semesters long starting June and ending in May.

What number did you call? I have been trying to get a hold of them. Did it sound like a person could still get in?
