It is designed for working adults, so at my campus, we only go 1 day per week, per class, for 5 hours, starting at 5:30PM, for 3 credit hours. Also, the semesters are only 9 weeks, instead of the traditional 18.
The classes are about 1/8th of the cost of the two main campuses of ERAU, and you get the exact same degree. From what I have seen, most of their campuses(including mine) are on military bases.
I agree 100%. This is what I did as well. You only need to take 10 riddle classes to get a degree. I went to the cheapest colleges I could find to get the basic classes, got something like 36 credits for my ATP, and finished up with 10 classes at an ERAU extended campus. I have a B.S in Professional Aeronautics.
I took the majority of classes at Nellis AFB in Nevada and I am a civilian. It is worth taking a look at and you can save yourself about $100,000.
Or you can go to Law School instead.
