Correct. Total cost is about $11,000 with texts, and can be completed in just over a year if you take accelerated summer semester courses (be prepared to do a LOT of writing in a short period of time).

I am in the process of completing my degree here. I'll have a masters this time next month.
I hope it pushes my app over the edge. Like others have commented, it also provides me other opportunities should I lose my medical, become furloughed, or desire something other than line flying.

Congratulations! The curriculum looks like a lot of bang for the buck and the degree is awarded from Delta State's College of Business not the aviation department! Not that an "aviation degree" is a bad thing but a business degree adds more weight!

Just my opinion: yes. Education gets you points on an app; masters might not be much but it's better than nothing.

As for the real reason why I advocate for one: what happens if you lose your medical? Wouldn't you like something to fall back on?
