Aviation degrees make more sense today than they used, and especially for GI Bill beneficiaries. Still some downside/risk to not having a more marketable degree.
I think the R-ATP should be 1,000 hours for a four-year degree.
But what you REALLY want to do (for any school) is talk to current and former students. I'm not talking about meet-and-greets arranged by recruiters either. Maybe you can find some folks online, or maybe travel to the school.
Also... take some lessons, make sure you like flying before you commit.
