Where we started

• We originally opened our doors in 1936 under the name of Academy of Accountancy. Accounting held as our staple academic program for many decades until we reached the computer era, at which time we introduced our computer technology programs through CDI Computer Academy.

How we have grown

• Seeing a need for a collegiate aviation path in the Metro area, we partnered with the Metro’s leading flight training facility, Thunderbird Aviation, to introduce the Academy of Aviation.
