Does anyone know anything about this program?
http://www.desu.edu/som/airway_science/

Or any other programs in the general vicinity of Philadelphia?

Would like to get a Bachelors degree and all of my ratings... Already have A.A.S. degree in IT, debating whether or not I should get the B.S. in IT instead and flight train at an FBO or look for an affordable college with an aviation program... (Would really like to brush up on math and meteorology, etc however...)

Thanks

Great that you decided to give college another try!! I have heard good things about DSU. However, I have not heard anything from aviation students.

if you want to brush up on math I suggest you take courses at a nearby community college or something if you have the time. Otherwise, you can always buy some math books from amazon or something.

What do you think of the IT degree idea? I could keep my job that way and flight train locally... I'd be a busy man, but I'd still have a paycheck... At 24, I'm not really interested in living on a campus. What do you think?

An IT degree would be a much better idea than an aviation degree so I would suggest you go for that as you already have experience in the field.

As far as not wanting to stay on campus. You need to look out for schools that require you to stay on campus the first year (like mine) because you won't have a choice unless you get some sort of waiver.

Some schools also have some sort of off campus housing for their students, but I am guessing you already have a house so that wouldn't be an option for you I would guess.
