Does anybody take an Embry Riddle "Worldwide" degree seriously?

They've got "satellite campuses" on a lot of Navy and Air Force bases, including one near my town. I'm looking at their Master's program for Aeronautics. I'm aware that like many satellite campuses, there's probably a low percentage of actual professors vs instructors.

But my undergrad GPA isn't that great (2.8) and I'm looking to use my GI Bill close to home. There's just not a lot of universities offering a Master's Degree in my state!

Embry Riddle's signed up for the Yellow Ribbon Program so it will be next to free for me. Just wondering if it would be worth using up half my GI Bill on their program. They seem more legit than, say University of Phoenix, since they do actually have real campuses and their real campus programs ARE fairly respectable.

    For Aeronautics, ER is one of the top 5 schools. Probably top 3. If you attend a "satellite campus", no one will ever know unless you tell them. Your degree will simply say "Embry Riddle".

    If you got a 2.8 undergraduate GPA, you will probably fail a Master's in Aeronautics. In fact, Embry-Riddle's nominal minimum GPA for acceptance into this degree program is 3.0.
