Probably the last thing you wanna hear, but get it done so you can check the box. Find some online extended campus that'll take what you have and finish it man. I'd bet 2 maybe 3 semesters tops with minimal work. Shoot, ERAU might give you enough credits with your experience all you might need to do is write a paper....
Will it make you a better pilot? Doubt it, but it may get you the pilot job you want.
Good luck

In my experience, 5,000TT+ is what gets the calls to start for civilian guys. If you are former military or have very good connections, you might get a call with lower time than that.

Sounds about right. I think that's what I did. Had enough transfer credits from college before plus the credit for my flight ratings to get a degree from ERAU. Still had to take about 10 classes to get it done. Wound up being mostly electives, though. It was actually CHEAPER to go with Riddle because of the 36 hours they gave me for my flight ratings than it was to go with another on line college.

You can look into Thomas Edison State College. They have an online BS Aviation Flight Technology program that gives you something like 35 credits for your ratings and they transfer in almost all credits from other schools - up to the full 120 AND they don't have a residency requirement. Its a public university in New Jersey that does alot of work with the military, so it is a completely legit program. WAY cheaper than Embry Riddle.

Liberty University has an online program as well that accepts the same amount of credits(BS Aeronautics), like most schools, they have a residency requirement.
Looks like there are plenty of options out there.
Don't forget CLEP and DANTES especially if your military, these are free for your first attempt at any course.
