B.S. in Aviation Management

(HEGIS 0599)

The purpose of the B.S. in Aviation Management is to provide students with an education and a degree that enables them to understand the business world in general, with a comprehensive understanding of the U.S. commercial airline industry in particular. Students will become familiar with the regulatory environment within which today's commercial airlines function. They will also learn to analyze the impact of the competitive marketplace, as well as the economic, financial, marketing, and operational challenges that today's air transport industry faces. This horizon is broadened by an upper level course that examines the international airline industry from these same perspectives. In addition to classroom learning, students have the opportunity to expand and apply their academic knowledge through numerous aviation management internships. Upon graduation, students will be well prepared to enter any sector of the air transport industry.
