The MIAT College of Technology is a private for-profit technical school with locations in Canton, Michigan and Houston, Texas. The college is a certified Federal Aviation Administration Part 147 school for aircraft maintenance that and also offers Energy Technology and Transportation Dispatch programs. The school was originally the Detroit Institute of Aeronautics, which was later renamed the Michigan Institute of Aeronautics. Around 2005, due to an increased demand for technical careers outside of aviation, the school expanded its curriculum to include Energy Technology and Global Logistics & Dispatch, and became known as the Michigan Institute of Aviation and Technology. The school was purchased by Universal Technical Institute (UTI) in November of 2021. In 2023, UTI announced that MIAT-Houston would be consolidated with UTI-Houston given their close proximity.
This is a strong option specifically for students serious about aviation maintenance or technical trades — as an FAA-certified Part 147 school, it offers focused, career-ready training that's hard to find at traditional colleges. The debt picture is actually encouraging, with median graduation debt of just $9,500, and median earnings of $45,000 a decade out are reasonable for the field. That said, this is a very narrow program fit, so if you're undecided on a career path or hoping for a broad education, look elsewhere.
