Note: The above figures are designed to supply you with our best estimate of the actual costs associated with studying at Metro State. These estimates assume that the student has his/her own health insurance and is therefore not required to purchase insurance through the college. When considering flight training, note that there are many variables that can affect the cost such as the training facility you choose, weather, rising fuel prices, instructor availability, number of flying lessons per week, and gaps in training due to the student, instructor, or aircraft availability.
