Irrelevant. The question here implies an aviation degree.
Not that I'm defending ERAU in the slightest, but it is not an aviation-only school, since it offers several engineering and business degrees, as well as a computer science degree. FIT is an overpriced third-tier school, with no ranked programs to its name. It has an acceptance rate of 82%. Compare that to the University of Florida, with eight engineering programs ranked in the top 30 of schools offering a doctorate. The suffix "...Institute of Technology" by no means places FIT in the same league as MIT or CalTech. For ranking, placement, and selectivity, it can't even compete with the better state schools.
The bottom line is there's no reason whatsoever to attend either.
