+Heres my current situation in a nut-shell. Im 19 years old. I left the University of Iowa to come back to Des Moines to go to a community college to save some money. ive currently completed my first year of school and have a 3.4 GPA. i attend Des Moines Area Community College [DMACC] So far, the only school in iowa that seems to offer a degree in Aviation Management is the University of Dubuque which happens to be a very expensive private school. ive since decided to look elseware. ive been doing some research from several online websites with lists of schools with majors listed as: Air Traffic Control and Aviation Management. I have a cousin that attends the University of North Dakota for ATC. i have heard awhile ago that it is one of the best places to go. its a shame i hate the cold. i have heard of the whole "embry-riddle" and the like and that just seems to be WAY out of my budget. so bare with me please...

+im really here just trying to find out a direction of what i need to do and where i should start. i have a list of schools that are out of state with fairly affordable tuition costs and decently sized names. i should have 2 years of general education done prior to moving on to one of these schools. i want to move on after next years classes and get started in the programs so i can get what i need to get done.

Questions:
1. I wish to become an Air Traffic Controller, what major must i pursue? Air Traffic Control or Aviation Management?
2. What kind of jobs can be obtained with either of the following majors: Air Traffic Control and Aviation Management.
3. Which of the following schools are reputable for any of the programs
listed above? [these were selected for several personal reasons... etc.]
- Mountain View College
- Miami Dade College
- Eastern New Mexico University: Roswell Campus
- Tulsa Community College
- Florida Community College at Jacksonville
- University of Nebraska: Omaha
4. Are there any online classes that i can take to get me ahead in the Aviation field?

thank you for viewing this thread and i appreciate any insight, thought, advice, and opinion that may be offered in your responses. hopefully i will get some of this sorted out.
