Most people who did not attend an aviation college assume that half your credit was for flight ratings. The reality doesn't matter, it's the perception that counts.
If your interviewer is an alumni of your program, then you will probably have a leg up. But otherwise, it won't help you.
For those who already have a degree, it's too late to change so it's useless to debate it.
But for those looking at schools...get a degree in something marketable as a backup to aviation. Aviation degrees are not marketable.
