MTSU, UT Space Institute form partnership

MURFREESBORO, TN -- Middle Tennessee State University and the University of Tennessee Space Institute have formed a partnership in flight test engineering.

Under the arrangement, students will spend 3 and 1/2 years at MTSU.

In their last semester, they will take classes at the UTSI campus near Tullahoma. These classes will go toward their undergraduate degree while at the same time count as prerequisite classes at UTSI. (Final approval must come from the Tennessee Board of Regents.)

Since fall 2005, academic officials at both universities began partnering the process to build the flight test engineering program.
