That sounds a lot like Embry-Riddle......
And that won;t matter because I'll take their online program.
What I was looking at mostly was:
Credits to finish UNLV: 65
Credits To finish at VC: 42
I just don't want someone to laugh if they see it on my resume

I'm not even sure if the "Bachelors" degrees earned there are accredited. That (among other things) should immediately break your decision to attend.

Well, he shouldn't break his decision to attend based on information you are not ''even sure'' about. If you're not sure, look it up! It saves you from looking silly for assuming things which are not true.

The Air Traffic-Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) program is a partnership between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology
On October 16, 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration announced at the Air Traffic Collegiate Training Intiative Best Practices Conference in San Jose, California that Vaughn College’s air traffic control program is ranked fifth out of 14 institutions across the country.
The FAA doesn't partner up with schools which are not accredited.

Nobody will laugh at you, Vaughn has been around for many years and is fully accredited. It's a small school (or was when I went there), now the place has grown a lot bigger. It used to be relatively low cost but now I believe the price has gone up A LOT. That usually happens when a school gets bigger, they just built dorms as well.
If you're goal is the airlines you don't have to go to a place like ERAU.
BTW, airlines do come to Vaughn to pickup pilots! I know Colgan goes there regularly. So I doubt anyone would laugh at you.

Thanks for your time and help, Snuggle. Being from the west, I've never heard of it until now, so I wanted to see what's up.
I've been to ERAU, a cc, and a local state university. I've lost a lot of ground through transferring
anic:...and I just want to be done with it all.
