That's something I'll ask when I tour ISU Wed - I'll post here with their take on it.
What is the title of the major? I'm attending Auburn University and my official major is "Professional flight management" but after looking over my prereq's, its still considered a business degree. I still have to take accounting, finance, stats, blah blah blah. Being that it is still a business degree in management, it will still transfer over to pretty much any business aviation or not. Check with an advisor and see what type of degree it is.
As for everything being on a set schedule, Auburn doesn't work that way. Everything part of the flying is set up for 2 semesters. So thats 2 semesters for private, 2 semesters commercial, 2 semesters multi, etc. If a student completes a class before the end of a semester, you automatically start the next class ahead of schedule and it works the opposite way. If you take longer than 2 semesters on something, everything is just pushed back. I had to go speak with the flight director to find all this information. My advisor helped but you may want to consider talking to the flight director as well. He/she should be able to answer any questions about scheduling or pricing.
Good luck!
