Hello, my name is Anthony and I have a dillema regarding what to do for graduate school. I will graduate this May with a BBA in Economics from a state university. I would LUV to go work for Southwest Airlines in Dallas while I put myself through flight training (I did an internship there last summer), but unfortunately they are not hiring right now, like most places.

So, I decided to do graduate school for two years to wait out the recession. I applied to the aviation program at OSU in Stillwater, OK and to a branch campus of Embry-Riddle at Sheppard AFB here in Wichita Falls, TX (where I currently go to school). I have been accepted to both programs, and I am trying to decide which one to pursue in the fall. On the one hand, I have a job lined up here in Wichita Falls that would get me a free place to live, all utilities paid, etc... basically my only living expenses would be food and gas. So I guess the more sensible thing to do would be to stay here and go to Embry Riddle for a Masters in Aeronautical Science, I just hope Embry Riddle doesn't turn out to be like Devry University or something where you pay your tuition and basically recieve a free ride.

Has anyone gone through a program at an Embry-Riddle branch campus? Is the quality of the degree high? Do the professors know what they're talking about?


Thanks in advance for any advice
