I agree with those who say not to get an aviation degree. I would also advise to stay away from private aviation universities.

In the end it is all about bang for the buck. I would recommend a public state university, preferably in-state. There have been several studies over the last few years and state universities end up being ranked for best value - quality of education, earning potential after graduation at lowest cost.

If you are totally set on getting an aviation degree, there are plenty of state schools with good solid programs. Do not let titles like "Harvard of the Skies" and fancy brochures con you into spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, because in the end you get furloughed based on seniority, not alma mater. And when walking the unemployment line the lower the student loan debt, the better off you will be.
