I'm a student at the CATER program in Deland, FL. My instructor recently graduated from ERAU with an Aviation Sciences degree. He didn't take breaks and was able to complete his degree in 3 years. He also took his flight training at ERAU. All totalled, his education and flight training cost $125,000.00. Yes, the cost is huge, but lenders are ready and willing to let you have the money, especially for an ERAU education. In addition, imagine the power of having Embry-Riddle on your resume. Our career field pays quite well. The education does cost a lot, but I believe it is well worth it. Just my 2 cents....
