Thanx porridge !!

ya I have sent e-mails to UND and expecting their reply now.

actually i'm not interested in any Degree/Diploma course (as I have one), the foundation thats funding me for flight training needs that the flight school should be attached/affiliated to a University and then onlly can they sanction me a loan.

any more such academies you have in mind ?

Currently I study in Mt. San Antonio College, Walnut, CA. This college provides an associate degree in commerical flight, and it has connection with three universities: Cal State L.A., Embry-Riddle (Prescott campus) and Southern Illinois University (This one is off-campus, like distance learning; students still have majors in Mt. SAC, but they go to other universities for general education.) If you feel interest, here is the link for information:

Mt.San Antonio college doesnt offer multi engine training, which is a must for Airline oriented people.
The other thing is that for completing approx. 250 hrs. of flight time there, it would take atleast 2 years !!!

any other Academies, may be in Canada too.
