Look at UVU ( Utah Valley University), they have an online program and good flight program that isn't that expensive.

ERAU is expensive but a very good experience. I do not regret going. However, do yourself a favor and knock out your gen. ed. classes and your PPL before you show up. You won't come out as badly in debt

1 - it is practically impossible to get a COM/ME/IRA for that low of a price these days

2- if one has to finance their flight training, a 141 university or ATP are pretty much the only places where one can get financing.

Thanks, I might look elsewhere for flight training. The Embry Riddle rates are high. Those rates are more reasonable.
