I took a couple of classes online. They can be really tough. Ask other friends who have taken the course before you before signing up. Some classes are so darn easy that I think they would be fun to do while on reserve Ah, sign in....read a little...Copy paste.....sign out.... sigh in....read a little...copy paste....sign out... That was for aviation history. Wouldn't do that for a serious or core course. Also, don't major in anything aviation related. Just get a minor or AS in it if you want.

What are your hours? That is what really dictates weather you should apply or not. Degree doesn't really matter right now.
