That is really the best route. Additionally, if you are seeking a Bachelors Degree; most city colleges offering an A&P program will put together/facilitate a special major for you, if they don't already have that system in place. That is, you do the A&P at city then transfer to a state college for the remainder. Many folks have done this and it effectively results in an aviation degree and generally one that is more useful...
