An aviation degree is pretty useless unless you're using it to get into 121 with less than 1500 hours.
I think UVU has an online program, but Im pretty sure instrument and commercial have to be done 141.
Shouldn't your neighbor's kid be doing the research?

I tried a few schools and finished through Liberty. They accepted all of my ratings and previous credits a had an excellent curriculum. The school and the instructors were all very accomodating. If he or his parents are Mil or vets it's $250/credit with no tech fees and a $100/class book voucher.

After trying a few schools I finished through Liberty. They accepted all my credits and ratings and the curriculum is excellent.
If he or his parents are mil or vets they have fantastic discounts. $250/credit plus $100/class book voucher and no tech fees.
He could finish in a year for about $8k total.
I agree that for a new student a degree in other than aviation is best. However, applying ratings is the fastest way to finish a degree. After you're hired you'll have a couple years on reserve and/or in a crash pad to get an MBA as a back-up in case you need it.

A degree is a degree. Unless you're learned a trade you're planning on practicing, it's a place holder, qualifier, letters by your name.
For checking a box, an aviation degree is as good as any other degree.

For those seeking employment as a pilot, no one particularly cares about the discipline of the degree.
Let's not equate a degree with an education. The two are not the same.
