Default My School is offering a 737-800 type rating??

My school that I'm attending (which will remain nameless and no its not riddle) is offering a 737-800 type rating over summers. The downside, like always, is the price tag. Only this price tag is roughly $21,000.00 bucks. Do any of you more experience guys see any validity to this or point to doing it. It covers ground school and three other classes worth a total of nine credits. also, it includes 50 hours multi/turbine time. However, none of that 50 hours is PIC, which is a downer. so i guess my main question is:

are airlines going to higher a 300ish hour pilot with 50 hours in a 737-800 type rating but no PIC in type?
