College degree credits
 
Hi guys, I know this has been asked many times but I’d like to know if anyone actually got an accredited college degree using their ATPL as credits. Either EASA or ICAO ATPL.
I’m interested in any online degree anywhere in the world.

Thank you.

City University in London have two MSc programs for pilots and other professionals. ERAU probably is another option.

Embry Riddle only accepts FAA licenses for credit against a degree. If you have a FAA PPL-CPL-ATP you can get credit. Foreign licences not acceptable. They do accept credits from foreign universities though. You will have to contact them directly for more info.

Mind you, even doing ERAU online, it will cost you 50k USD in tuition for the 4 years US degrees take (if you don't get credit).

Doing a degree from a local university may be much cheaper and easier. I looked into ERAU and found that a local university to where I live is a quarter of the price of ERAU and only 3 years. They even gave me some credit for a trade college I attended a few years earlier.

Most employers only care about your degree if it comes from Harvard or Oxford. Don't think you need a big name University to get noticed.

In ref to the post above, if you enrol in a Masters program with no undergrad qualifications, it will be immensely difficult to pass. Maybe do a semester of undergrad classes to see if you are capable of that level first.
