The Aviation Management (AVM) major prepares students for
careers as managers in various areas of the aviation industry. The program
develops expertise in business management with emphasis on administration of
various aviation enterprises. The curriculum includes such areas as business
economics, data acquisition and analysis, finance, marketing, and the study of
aviation business law and regulation. The AVM program offers three (3) areas of
focus or career tracks:
- Airport management
- Airline management
- Air traffic control
Students must select the career track of their choice by their Junior or
Senior year. Each career track consists of the university core, a business core,
and a common aviation core. The remaining course requirements are specific to
the chosen track and consist of a final sequence of courses leading to a
culminating experience course (internship or independent study research project)
in the area chosen. It may be possible for a student to select more than one
area of focus.
