Wouldn't it be terrible if there were students who went through all of their MTSU training and never once flew IFR? I think it should be required.

I would have to agree with you on pro pilot students being required to fly on an IFR flight plan during instrument training. I instructed at MTSU for about 2 semesters and quickly found out that many flight instrctors who went through the program had not ever flown in IMC. Call me crazy, but I think that it is pretty difficult to teach someone how to fly in conditions that you've never been in yourself.
