It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

Man’s ability to fly is a wondrous development; one that fascinates children of all ages. The science of aviation is all about the mechanics of flight and it continues to get more and more complex. If this subject is compelling to you, you might consider an Aviation Management Bachelor of Science. This four year degree combines technical studies of aviation and aeronautics with management courses. It is a good degree option for individuals who are already in the aviation industry – perhaps as air traffic controllers or aviation mechanics – and would like to either be promoted to management or apply to aviation management positions.

Some topics that may be discussed in the Aviation Management Bachelor of Science include aviation law, aviation safety and airport management. Having an understanding of aviation law and regulations is an important part of being in aviation management. Whether you want to operate an airport or manage a crew, knowledge of these laws – along with safety regulations – may aid you in being qualified for these positions. This degree may also include the option to take more scientific and technical courses on the machinery used in aviation and the science behind what makes it all work. In addition, students will likely be required to take managerial courses in subjects like accounting and labor relations.
