They are both colleges that have approved plans and the flight training is approved for the R-ATP and the degree is also, but ERAU said it doesn't count unless I flight train through them. What gives?
You can go read the FARs but the intent and language is that you do the training and degree as a single integrated program. They didn't build in any waivers for special cases like yours and the schools have little or no discretion on that. Best you could hope for is to get a lot of transfer credit from your previous program and then complete another degree with UND while doing their flight program. But that probably wouldn't be worth it, doubt they'd give you credit for more than maybe 50%. Faster and cheaper to just CFI to get the extra 500 hours.
