Anyone in Washinton state ever heard of that school that offer avaition degree?

[DE727UPS]

Yeah. They have been around a LONG time. They used to have a two year ATC program. They have two year aviation programs that will tie into a four year degree at CWU. They don't have any aircraft of their own. Not really sure how the flying part works, anymore.

[Fly777bigBIRD]

Do you think this college is transferable to ERAU or UND?

[DE727UPS]

I think you should ask them or research their website to find out. I also don't an aviation degree is the best choice if you want to be a pilot.

[Fly777bigBIRD]

why is that? is it because of the job as a backup? lol confused....

[DE727UPS]

"is it because of the job as a backup?"

The airlines don't care what your degree is in. It's smarter to major in something else you enjoy besides aviation as that could become an area of interest for you outside of flying. This is a good thing to have. Partly as a backup and partly as an addition to a flying career.

If you still want to major in aviation and you're from WA, you should look into Central's program way before UND or ERAU. You'll spend less money and be closer to home.

Thanks for the info!


how many hours have you log UPS?

[DE727UPS]

15 years in and 15 to go. That's all that matters. I don't keep track of hours.

if your dead set on an aviation degree (not recommended by me) then you should check out Big Bend Community college. They are reasonably priced, close to Puyallup and I havent heard any complaints about the place.

BBCC is only a two year school, just like GRCC.
