1. Did your education come from a fully accredited 4 year university?
2. Were you taught by professors who were professionals in their field and who held at least a Master's degree or did your school substitute student/associate teachers to save money?
3. Did they assign regular homework that was required to be completed daily with a passing grade?
4. Did they have regular testing under the personal supervision of a qualified proctor?
5. Did they require daily attendance of all classes in order to ensure adequate learning?
6. Did your school require you to take classes in physics, aerodynamics, aviation safety, flight physiology, aircraft systems, aviation history, etc?
7. Did your school immerse you in an educational setting with hundreds of other aviation students from countries all over the world who helped you learn every aspect of aviation from many different points of view?

If your school had all of these things, then you may have received the level of aviation education that ERAU provides. The fact still remains that you never attended ERAU, therefore, you cannot possibly know the difference in the quality of education you received. In fact, the only thing you really do know is that your school was cheaper.

I first went to a large state university and later transferred to ERAU and I know from personal experience that the education I received was far superior at ERAU...even if it was more expensive.
