ATP v.s. College aviation degree

Greetings,
I am an 18 year old student studying in Japan and I want to become a commercial pilot. I have both Japanese and US citizenship, but I do not have residency in the US. I am currently debating if I should go to a 4-year college in Japan and then train at ATP, or fly in an aviation program at a US college (like the University of North Dakota). What would be the most timely and cost-efficient path to becoming a commercial pilot?

Joshua,

Please visit our FAQ section as we discuss this and many other commonly asked questions.

Short answer University aviation programs are rarely timely or cost efficient.

Joshua,

Why not go to a four year college program in the US and then train at ATP? Why the desire to go to college in Japan?
