The answer to that question (to my knowledge) is no!

If the question is do aviation colleges honor the certificates that you hold then the answer is yes! Western Michigan University, my alma mater, will give you "credit" for your private pilot certificate and instrument rating. You will have to attend a transition course which qualifies the ratings you hold and allows you to continue under the part 141 curriculum to attain a commercial certificate.

Most if not all accredited universities, accredited being the key word here, base their "aviation degrees" on a bachelors of science. That would mean that you graduate with a BS in Aviation Flight Sciences or whatever the case may be. A BS in science from an accredited university would absolutely meet the militaries 4-year degree requirement.


Edit: as I have just read from the above post and researched apperently ERAU does give course credit for held certificates (https://worldwide.erau.edu/Assets/wo...FAA_Credit.pdf). As I search this more I am finding other colleges that offer credit as well. As long as that credit is being put toward a degree in a related field in some cases.
