You have brought up some great points but I do fly all year round at the college and believe it or not, I flew the least amount over summer when I figured I’d fly a ton with kids gone but nope.

I will get a bachelor’s no matter what, but it’s just do I stick it out in this painful situation of flying once every two weeks or do I find an online program while I fly Part 61 and get it done fast? I have some money so it’s not really the GI bill factor, more so what is the smartest route.

With 1.5 years to go, the end of the tunnel should almost be visible. Yes, you really should get that 4-yr degree, even if it’s in aviation science or basket-weaving.

Can you speed things up? Many flight colleges offer flight training about year round? Any options at the local FBO?

Back in the day I went through in 3.5 years, another finished the 4-yr program in 3 years, both non-aviation.

There should be some tweaks available. Switching isn’t out of the question, though there will be time lost with the transition. Without specifics it’s hard to do more than generalize.
