You’re required to take 60 credits specific to aviation and graduate with a degree in aviation to meet the 1,000 hour ATP minimums. BECAUSE you took 60 credits (or more) specific to aviation, you’re reduced 500 hours, that’s fair.
A lot of those courses also take a deeper dive into different aspects of aviation as well and isn’t just flying a aircraft. Examples are deeper dive into weather theory (something that Part 61 pilots don’t dive much into) and deeper dive Human Factors (something that Part 61 pilot isn’t covering.) Just some examples.
