minimums for a commercial license are 250, if ggoing part 61, they are slightly less if going part 141. I am going to Embry riddle because they gave me an ass load of credit from the military and my A&P license, other than that i would NOT recomend an aviation program. Get your degree in whatever, do your flight training at a local FBO and build hours. Its cheaper to buy a cessna 150 and build at 30 an hour vs renting at 100 an hour to get your hours, any one in the buffalo area interested in flying or school options can pm me and i’ll help ya out. As a side note, i got my PPL in 30 days, a six month course is just milking you for money the way i see it. on average during summer months 3 months is more than enough for the average student ---
