The Aviation Management program provides students with a background in business administration and related technical knowledge in aviation. In most cases, the graduate of this program should seek a four-year baccalaureate degree. Aviation management has evolved into a career discipline that requires a variety of skills.
There are direct transfer options with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Metropolitan State College, St. Francis College, Southern Illinois University, Thomas Edison State College, and Florida Institute of Technology. Although many graduates transfer to four-year colleges, graduates also enter the private sector in entry-level management positions with manufacturers, airline authorities, airport service operations, commuter air services, and corporate flight operations.
Students may study full-time or part-time. Most courses are offered during the day and evening. Admission to the program requires a high school diploma or its equivalent with two years of high school math.
The course sequence below represents a recommended example of how this degree program can be completed in two years, presuming a Fall Term start and satisfaction of all Developmental Studies (foundation courses) requirements and prerequisites. Actual approaches toward completion depend on each student's anticipated transfer institution, career objectives, or other individual circumstances.
Students are encouraged to meet regularly with an academic advisor or Success Coach to consider options, establish plans, and monitor progress.
