That's just ERAU propaganda. Getting an engineering degree and ROTC will place him in far better standing than any aeronautical "science" graduate.
From what I've read, it seems like the Navy or Air Force prefer prospective pilots to have engineering or technical degrees.
That is correct. However, the ERAU aeronautical science degree is a far cry from an engineering degree. Not even in the same ballpark, and the military knows this.
I read that ERAU has nearly 1,800 Aero Science majors in Daytona. Does anyone know whether this is a problem when trying to get flying opportunities at the school. Also do Aero Science classes fill up quickly and do students have to wait a semester to get in a class they need?
Neither were ever a problem for me. I only had to "add" a class once, and did so with no difficulties.
