Four year degree

[CommanderHoek]

Does anyone have any info on online schools that have a B.S. in avaition. I have a 2 year dgree but want to work on my 4 year. I need to do it online. Also, who gives the best credits for previous degree/experience. I have talked to Everglades Univ in Florida but not sure if they are FULLY accredited. Thank you. Sorry for the repeat on this site but was not sure where to put this.

Check into SIU-Carbondale. I believe they may have a program for you.

I'd recommend studying something other than aviation, because, except for the Aviation Management degree, a degree in aviation is practically worthless outside of aviation.

Ther are MANY online courses available for other fields, that will take you farther, in case the aviation thing dosen't work out.

Unless, of course, you subscribe to pilotYIP's theory; then you're wasting your time getting a stupid degree. He's got buddies that flew B-29's in WWII or something like that, and THEY didn't need no stinkin degree.

Course, good luck getting getting any kind of job at the major level.

Oops, I see my high horse coming. Nevermind.

SIU is ok.

Riddle has their Professional Aeronautics degree which is completely online. They will give you 36 credit hours for having your commercial multi. Already having your two year degree means you would only need about 24 hours through them. You could knock that out in nine months as their semesters are only three months long. Also, online classes run about $190/credit hour.....peanuts compared to the full-time on campus tuition.

After that degree, get into a state online MBA program and your options become endless.

Where are you going to earn the money to get the MBA for all those endless oportunities? In aviation?? I got news for you. You are heading towards a brick wall!!....by the time you earn that money (if you ever earn it) you will not be thinking about getting a degree. You will probably have a lot in your plate.

FSU's online MBA program runs around $8500 plus books. A couple of student loans will certainly take care of that. You don't have to have money to go to college.

School Sucks!!

I totally agree with gringo in that a four-year AVIATION degree is worthless. If you're going to spend the money use it on something other than aviation. Everything you need to know about aviation you're going to learn on your way up to your ATP. Get a degree in something Business related, so when you lose your medical cuz you can't afford anything other than fast food because of your Regional salary you can look into something else like starting your own business or the like. I just can't believe that people spend 100k+ to attend Riddle Univ. to get a worthless degree in aviation to get a 20K/ yr job. Oh well, to each his own.

I would actually recommend you guys not to get a four degree so that I have less competition at the majors; SO DON'T GO TO COLLEGE, IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!

Well if you really want your dreamshot, get a four year degree in mathmatics or physics. Then you can apply for the NASA program. No joke, I missed the deadline by six months due to age. Great program. Not everyone get's that on a resume'

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

I suggest a degree in Business.

Actually unless you major in a specific field like nursing or engineering a degree is a degree. Four year aviation degree or business degree will net you the same return. Just because you have a degree in Business Management doesn't mean you'll walk into management. In business you start at the bottom unless you know some one.

You can teach middle and high school with any 4 year degree. At most places the degree is a box that you can check. You can even go to law school with a four year aviation degree, just make sure you do well on the LSAT.

If you really want to move up in the corporate world work on your golf and tennis game, and schoomz you butt off.

My brother who works in IT management at a big big bank, gave me the same advice. He said most of the people he works with have a degree that has nothing to do with management or even IT. They could check the box. He told me just get a degree, the major doesn't matter, be able to check the box and that is plenty of backup.-kingaira90

I was in the same boat. I am finnishing up a Indiana University of continuing studies @ Bloomington. It is a B.G.S. and you can work on your degree online or print based. It is a real college! good luck!

There are many fields where you can start at the top with the proper skills.
Aviation is not one of them.
