First you need to decide which area of aviation you would like to proceed toward, that being Corporate or Airline. As it appears that Kansas is tending toward Corporate with the King Air and the Citation. Does the Arizona program offer you actually flight hours a CRJ?

In four years you will be 21/22 years old with not a lot of total time. At the highest I would assume you would have a Commercial, Instrument and Instrument ratings, and possibility a CFI no matter which University you chose to attend. To secure a job as a pilot in the Corporate world with such low total time would very difficult, if not impossible.

With that being said, I would tend to go with the Arizona program and peruse a Regional Airline position. However, a little more information about both programs would help me advise you. Such as, how much total time do you expect to have when you graduate and what type of degree will you receive.

In any case, good luck to you.

There is always the military to consider.
