ReelDeel -
Wher I went to school - Oklahoma State University - there were two paths in the Aviation Degree. One was the Professional Pilot's Course which was all the ratings (up through CFII) and Gen Ed and the degree was much like the pilot mills that you hear about from others. The other course was more business oriented and was basically a business degree with specialization in aviation.
Get a degree in something that interests you. Work hard and do well and I doubt that you will have any problems defending your choices during an interview with any company; and if you do, is that a company that you really want to work for?
