    Just to know, I have a question for them who attended or are attending UND.
    With how many flight hours did you graduate or do you expect to graduate?

    I found yesterday Utah State University's aviation program, and they say on their website that students will graduate with approximately 2000 hours of flight time.

    I'm interested both in UND and USU at the moment, but USU's program attract me more for the price issue.

    That's why I started this topic. Is it there the possibility that at least a university could guarantee at least 1000-1500 hours!?

    Anyway, I've just sent an email to the director of aviation of USU to figure out something.

    Sounds extremely far-fetched, and maybe a typo. When I did 141 training, most grads (with CFII, MEI, etc) had around 200-300 hrs TT. I'm sure you COULD rack up that many hours if you love paying money and not getting anything out of it (I don't even want to think about how expensive it would be to pay for that kind of time), but most folks get into the thousands of hours while being paid.

    Im guessing 200-300 then Flight instruct for the rest would be how they got the 2,000hrs. I had 180 when I got done at riddle, though with out a CFI/II

    250ish is about what you can expect. 2,000 would be if you stick around and instruct, but nobody in their right mind would pay for 2,000 flight hours unless they could afford it (re- not on student loans).
