I looked at Purdue back in 1988. They were much more of an engineering degree with emphasis on flight. My math is okay but not enough to survive an engineering type program so I went to Southern Illinois University instead. Their program was more business orientated. Back in the day, SIU placed more interns with UAL than anyone else. I know that doesn't matter right now. I'm not sure about the program now but I know as recently as a few years ago they had interns with DAL, UAL, AMR, UPS, to name a few. Internships are as valuable as gold so go with a program that has a ton of these. That's how you get your foot in the door.
