There are "gateway" programs that affiliate the colleges with airlines which infer a career path. This isn't quit ab initio model adopted by some of the reopen airlines in that the student is still stalled with the cost of training.
The university flight school affiliation may be worth something, but I'd caution you to do the math on what 250 extra hours would cost. In terms of time and tuition I think the university flight school option will be more costly when you pay tuition with no degree path.
