The large university like UND and Purdue will prepare you to get the
airline job. It's true any degree is fine but if you get it from a
nonaviation college and get your ratings from the local FBO you will be
constantly disappointed as you go looking for jobs at the airlines. The
people from the UND's and Purdue's have a huge advantage there.

I had actually just come to the conclusion that a few of you guys said
here right before I read this thread. I talked to another student who
talked to an ex-A320 captain that was on a hiring comittee and he said
that they didn't care what degree you had, so long as it was a good 4
year degree. So I guess that leaves my options a lot more open now
since the idea of getting flight instruction through a college degree
is actually kind of a bad idea.

No wonder it was hard to find information on these schools! Haha.
Thanks a ton for all the help guys.

What about Aviation Management degrees? How do these degrees help
within the aviation field?
