Abstract
Choosing a university is a major decision for those seeking an aviation degree. Choosing to major in flight increases the total educational cost. Past studies discuss students' decision-making factors in choosing universities, but little research has been conducted specifically for flight majors. The study methodology utilized surveys and interviews with 31 participants. Using Spradley's (1979) domain analysis to categorize common themes and patterns, the domains that emerged were university reputation, past family enrollment, funding mechanism to pay for student's education, campus tour, aircraft availability, and interactions with university staff and faculty. The findings are discussed along with the implications and recommendations for practice and research.
