— Mountain State University and Airline Transport Professionals signed an academic services agreement Wednesday to reflect a new bachelor’s degree for aviation students with flight training to be completed through ATP.

ATP is a flight school with approximately 8,000 hours of flight training and nationwide cross-country flight experience per month. More than 3,300 FAA certificates are issued annually.

MSU President Charles Polk said he was excited for the opportunity.

“This means a lot for both of us,” he said. “We will be penetrating 22 new markets that we didn’t have before.”
