FAA A&P to bachelor degree
 
Hi Dear Members,
i'm wondering some help regrading how can i use my FAA A&P// ICAO type 2 licenses and my 12 years professional experience in aircraft maintenance working as aircraft technician , to get a bachelor degree in the aviation field .I heard some US universities offer a short on line course based on AME license and maintenance experience to get bachelors degree.Basically my question which is best school for such course?and how much it will cost as i'm not US citizen and living out of USA.

Many thanks in advanced.

BSAST Degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology | Thomas Edison State College

Not cheap but award credits for A&P license!

Your experience and other certification outside of your mechanic certificate (A&P) wont' make any difference toward a degree, and your mechanic certificate won't get you a 4 year degree. You can get an associate degree with only a little classwork. Look into Eastern New Mexico University; you may be able to complete an associate in aircraft maintenance technology with only four additional classes.

Once you have your associate, the remaining two years of a degree program must be completed in entirety; your A&P won't get you past the associate.

ENMU has 4 year degrees, including aviation degrees, that you can use to build on the associate.

Costs are very reasonable.

ENMU is a great program. A&P will get you close the AAS, with 2 years of online to the BAAS degree. Good professors, not an easy ride though. You will have to work. I highly recommend it.

Thank you very much for the advices ,really i appreciate your support.But most of the schools require minimum 2 years ,so is there any other option with 1 year schooling.
thank you

Earning a Bachelor degree (4 year degree) in 1 year is not realistic! With your FAA A&P license you can get college credit and with general course work you can maybe earn an associates degree (2 year degree) in one year!

Just curious, is there a sentiment overseas that U.S. colleges are "Mickey Mouse" diploma mills that offer bachelor degrees with one year of coursework?
