MASTER OF BUSINESS


ADMINISTRATION IN AVIATION



Degrees Main Page

airplane

The Master of Business Administration in Aviation degree program is designed to emphasize the application of modern management concepts, methods, and tools to the challenges of aviation and business. The special intricacies of aviation are woven into a strong, traditional business foundation by combining a specific core of distinct business competencies with a strong aviation foundation.

The demand for skilled professionals continues to grow in response to the increasing need for leaders who can manage the efficient and effective use of scarce resources; operate in an atmosphere of heightened national and international competition; and respond to the call to preserve our world's fragile eco-system - and the MBAA curriculum is oriented toward the needs of aviation leaders and decision-makers who can operate in this environment.

Specific prerequisites for each graduate course in the MBAA are contained in the Course Description section of this catalog. Students must assume responsibility to see that all prerequisites are satisfied. However, students who cannot demonstrate prerequisite knowledge in one of the following areas, may be required to register for one or all of the modules contained in MGMT 503 (A through F): management, quantitative methods, marketing, accounting, economics, and/or finance.

The prerequisite subject knowledge for a specific graduate course must be satisfied before enrollment in that specific course is permitted. Students may enroll in other graduate level courses as they meet any specific prerequisite knowledge required.
