If I were you and in a hurry I'd start looki at what university you wish to attend and make sure you can get in. Some state schools have flight programs, this will be far far less expensive than Riddle. Make sure your school meets the 750 hour requirement. Then start working with an advisor at the school to find out what classes you can test out of or take at a community college RIGHT NOW.
Either way. Get a 4 year degree and don't major in aviation.
