I’m gonna assume you’re talking about 4 year colleges with part 141 aviation programs. This really depends on which state you live in. Out of state tuition can be pricey so I would recommend you look in state at first. Personally, I live in Arizona so I am eligible for WUE which is basically an out of state tuition discount for over 10 western states. This makes it affordable for me to go to UND. Flight costs are pretty average across universities ranging from 60-80k usually. Expect to spend at least 130k with tuition, flight costs, and dorms.

Alternatively, there are associates degree aviation programs to look at that cost about 60-70k. But again, you only get your associates and will likely want to transfer to finish your degree online. It’ll cost 20-30k to finish your bachelor’s degree. The total would be close to 100k. I personally have decided against doing this route because the degree problem.

Most the people on here are gonna say an aviation degree is useless and a bad idea. But at the end of the day, if you are young it is very advantageous and most likely the most efficient route to the airlines.

If you have any more questions PM as I recently have gone through a lot of research involving this topic

Hope this helps
