 Re: Ratings at Purdue
Hey there.
Lots of students here who major in Flight get a minor in aviation management. Personally, to double major in flight and aviation management is probably not worth it. If you were to double major, I would double major in Management (through Krannert School of Management).
As for your ratings. Purdue will get you through your Single and Commercial Multi. You can also take a CFI class through Purdue. As for CFII and MEI, you're on your own. However, most students do that at the FBO.
It's possible to get your CFI by the end of the summer after your freshman year.
If you come in with your private, you take a written test consisting of 50 questions (I think) right off the FAA Private Pilot Written. 70% is a pass. If (or should I say, when) you pass, you take the 2nd flight course (commercial) the fall of your freshman year.
Good luck! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
