It is possible to get your r-atp at 1500 hours being 21 years of age without a part 141 accredited aviation degree program.

From FAA press release:

Airline Transport Pilot Certificate with restricted privileges

At least 21 years old;
Hold commercial pilot certificate with instrument rating;
Successfully complete new ATP Certification Training Program prior to taking the ATP knowledge test (after July 31, 2014);
Pass ATP knowledge and practical tests; and
At least 750 hours total time as (military pilots); or
At least 1,000 hours total time as pilot and a Bachelor's degree with an aviation major; or
At least 1,250 hours total time as pilot and an Associate's degree with an aviation major; OR
1,500 total time as a pilot.

As the last line suggests, as long as you meet the 1500 hour requirement, you are eligible for the r-atp at 21


From Mesa airlines website:

Restricted ATP 1500 Hours Total Time Requirements
1500 hours Total Flight Time
200 hours Cross Country Time
100 hours Total Night Time
25 hours Multi Engine Time, Fixed Wing
250 hours of Pilot in Command Time, Fixed wing
75 hours of Instrument Time
Commercial Pilot Certificate with Multi Engine and Instrument ratings
Current FAA First Class Medical Certificate
Ability to demonstrate instrument proficiency
ATP Written (CTP training can be provided to qualified applicants)
FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit
Current Valid Passport
At least 21 years of age
Legally authorized to work in the U.S.
Able to pass security background check and FAA mandated drug test
High school diploma or GED
Ability to read and speak English language

Again, this reiterates the fact that a restricted atp is possible to obtain at 21 years old, so long as you meet the 1500 hour requirement.

I hope the clarifies everything
