I think Perdue comes in a close second. Is ERAU worth the money? Probably not. It is, however, well known with recruiters and still enjoys a good reputation for good, standardized fight training within the various Flight Departments. So if you want to spend a fortune to get a job with little pay, no pension (in most cases), and no future then by all means, knock yourself out! For what it's worth..
I am involved in the hiring process at a Major and I can tell you that the degree from ERAU is something that you will have get beyond during the interview. It is actually strike one for me unless you answer some of the questions correctly right out of the box.
