i attended UMES and graduated with a degree in aviation science pro pilot. UMES good school you will have alot of fun but u do not need a degree in aviation to get a job if you look at any airline all they want is a four year degree, you could major in fishing for all they care. UMES has a good people working in the aviation dept but the problem is the school will not give the program the support it needs. I started with 16 pilots as a freshman and i am one of two to graduate and work as a pilot. To my knowledge only one of my former instructors is currently working as a pilot with a national airline.
