It all depends, in my state alone PA I can name Marywood College as well as a handful of community colleges that offers flight training along with a 2 year degree in aviation. After you did the 2 years, you can transfer to a 4 year college to finish up your bachelor's in whatever you want. But I have noticed that 4 year colleges who offer degrees and flight training are considerably expensive as you may expect.

Saint Louis University, Parks College. You can get all your ratings plus ANY college degree while you fly, since Parks was bought by SLU. Business, medical, you name it. It may take lots of work but i know people who have done it.

from your previous posts it sounds like you already have an associates degree. If you really want an aviation related degree go for it, but the majority of the airlines out there really don't care what your degree is in, just as long as you have a degree in something. Most regionals like to see and associates and majors want a bachleors.

From my time at Spartan College of Aeronautics, I have had a good time here. From instructing here I can say that people who come from a part 61 enviroment do not have nearly as good of knowledge and experience as one who goes to a part 141 school. We have had many people from part 61 schools who didn't know how to do a weight and balance or preflight to save their life. Spartan, ERAU, and SLU (Parks), are the 3 oldest flight schools in the country. If you are looking for a prestigous degree go to one of those 3. And yes I will say UND and SIUC has good programs as well.

If it was me and I already had my associates, I would go to a place like allatp to get my certificates, go to an airline and work on my bachleors degree (online) while I am flight instructing or at an airline.
