What do the airlines/employers think of the Online Degrees? Has anyone gone thru Start to Finish? (ie. No prev. college)

I did my degree through UVSC. I had one class transfer from my local junior college plus I got some credit from being in the air force. I was not asked about my degree in my interview with skywest nor my interview to fly in the Air Force.

hey chunk where you in aviation law class? I just finished up. the final sucked salty balls.

I'm taking about 2-3 clases a time to finish up.

I have to admit that ERAU wants the money but no real support. i call my advisor and say what class do i need next? I had to fill out a form and wait 45 days to have a rundown of classes that i needed. It's kind of a pain.

anybody know of a really easy online college that is acredited.

I don't need a preaching to just a degree that is a real one.

i've heard of webster college. Anybody else?

I really liked the online program. The whole BS degree can be done online. It was $130/unit when i graduated in 2004. The degree is as painless as it gets. The school is fully accredited.

it says 30 credit hours for liscences. ERAU gave me 60 or something like that.

who knows anymore. I'll probably still call them.

I'm tempted just to go to www.ashwooduniversity.net and pay the 600 bucks to be a phd and get my BS for no money down.

I mean if you're a phd who's really going to ask what college you went to?

At UVSC there's about 60 units Gen Ed, 30 Units for PPL-CFII/MEI and the other 30 units comes from other aviation related classes like ATC, Aviation Weather, Flight Physiology, CRM, Turbine aircraft, ATP written. You can also get credits for work experience in an aviation related job. I think that was around 12 units. There's also the undergrad project. I think I only challenged 16 units for my ratings and took the classes for ratings I already held. That helped raise my GPA by taking classes where I already knew the material

I'm glad to hear your glowing remarks about UVSC Viper. They are affiliated with the aero-club where I'm about to start my PPL which makes it easy to work in one of their programs.

I had some reservations, not the least of which was whether I should start my PPL as soon as possible or wait until I get into college. Now that I know universities offer credits for certifications I attain outside of the university I guess there is nothing holding my back from starting down this road other than financial pains.

no problem. I had my concerns about the place. I started off by taking two classes to see how i liked it.
