GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
The University of Memphis offers Commercial Aviation and Aviation Management pathways through its Polytechnic division. The professional-flight curriculum explicitly progresses through commercial airplane multiengine and instrument qualifications, with optional flight-instructor and instrument-instructor ratings. Students schedule practical lessons directly with the university’s flight-training vendor. Incoming students who already hold a private certificate may begin instrument ground and flight work in their first semester. Aviation coursework also covers systems, weather, navigation, human factors and operating rules. The separate management concentration focuses on the aviation business and does not require the professional-flight pathway’s flying expenses.
Published training options.
The school’s published options are summarized below. Each note explains the training type and what to clarify when comparing the school’s exact course.
Commercial Aviation degree pathway
An academic pathway with its own entry and graduation requirements. Compare the flight qualifications, academic credits and flight fees included in your chosen track.
Instrument ground and flight training
Combined instrument ground study and flight training. Ask how academic lessons, aircraft sessions and any simulator work are coordinated.
Commercial airplane multiengine/instrument progression
Training focused on instrument flying, procedures and planning. Compare aircraft and simulator use, scheduling and the preparation expected before flight lessons.
Optional CFI
Training in teaching, lesson preparation and instructional flying. Ask which instructor qualification is included and how practice teaching is assessed.
Optional CFII
Preparation for instrument-instruction responsibilities. Confirm the required existing instructor qualification and whether simulator work is part of the course.
Aviation Management — separate academic pathway
An academic pathway with its own entry and graduation requirements. Compare the flight qualifications, academic credits and flight fees included in your chosen track.

TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
This program is useful to compare as a university degree coupled with an external flight provider. Its credit-for-experience approach may matter to existing pilots, military students and adults returning to finish a degree. Before enrolling, obtain a written evaluation of previous certificates and confirm which vendor, airport and aircraft will deliver each stage. Direct scheduling gives students responsibility for coordinating flight progress with university classes. Optional instructor ratings and any reduced-ATP eligibility should be documented individually rather than assumed from admission.

WHAT THE AVAILABLE FEEDBACK TELLS US
Student review evidence.
Niche evidence: Niche's review page covers University Of Memphis as an institution. Its overall feedback is useful for considering the broader college experience, but the page-level rating is not an assessment of the flight-training program or this location's aircraft and instructors. General institutional reviews are not separated into a representative aviation-program sample. Ask aviation students specifically about flight slots, additional flight fees, instructor changes, and time to complete each certificate.
