What exactly do you want? (in order of "degree" of difficulty)

1. A degree which costs you $$$ but you don't have to turn up or do any study whatsoever. (Probably a shady institution)

2. A degree using lots of advanced standing and no real study apart from standard CPL ATPL theory which you did somewhere else in any case. (May be a real university but with very low entry standards)

3. An aviation management degree with some new subjects so you can learn some aspects of running an airline/airport, but still get swags of advanced standing because you have ATPL + hours. (May be a real university but with low entry standards)

4. A degree where you have to do a bunch of subjects which will force you to learn new techniques and work hard to absorb new info, and get no or little advanced standing as a result of your flying experience.(A real university with some international standing)

5. A degree with very high entry level and high standards of assessment (e.g. Harvard Business school).


Some people just want the ticket, some want the knowledge, some want both.

All of the above are offerred somewhere.
