But as for art and design majors, like animation or graphic design. There is no math involved what so ever (you do need to take math class but not the advanced once).
Exactly which academy are you talking about here?

There is a long standing debate on whether technical degrees make better pilots.

Aeronautical engineering is not the standard aviation degree that people usually talk about when discussing good or bad degrees. It is an engineering type degree - which is always good. At least in the military, I think you must have a *technical* type of degree if I remember right, but I never applied because I don't and am not a engineering type of person!
