If you are determined to major in aviation (many here will advise you not to) then look into Purdue or Auburn.
I gotta agree atlmsl....as far as the first paragraph goes!!!
On the other hand, take a look at what jobs are going to be in demand. I know of two; Healthcare & Finance. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a B.S. degree in Hospital Administration along with your CPL w/ME rating. Good luck to you.
