A four-year degree is a four-year degree. I think we can all agree on the fact that you earned college credits and worked for that diploma. There are numerous degrees that one might consider not worth the paper it is printed on, but it still required a certain number of credit hours in that discipline. Traditional degrees that are common and earned in such subjects as: business, aviation, engineering, English, library, medicine, architecture, construction, agriculture, sciences, music.
Auburn University was the first one on the Internet that I look at with an aviation degree program. Listed are some of the courses required: English Comp I & II, History I & II, Calculus I & II, Fine Arts, Statistics, Accounting, Microeconomics, Physics I & II, Great Books II. The course subjects don’t sound like a cakewalk to me. If you look at other degrees, they have some of the same required courses. To say a degree in aviation is useless is just not right.
I fully believe it is up to the individual to point out what subjects they studied and relay this in any interview. Perhaps the interviewer lacks knowledge of what is required to obtain an Aviation Degree. In the interviews that I gave or received, only once was my college transcripts required and that was for my first job. After the first job, experience and track record were more important. Having the degrees is the door opener. It is up to the individual to carry out the rest during the interview. A required course that all colleges and universities should require is a course in proper interview and introductory letter writing. Are there any out there that have this as a required course for graduation or is it an elective?
