Continuing Education

The Aviation Management specialization is focused on students who wish to someday operate their own aviation business or aviation flight department.  Students obtain pilot certification from the private pilot through commercial certificates.  The Certified Flight Instructor is not required for graduation, and there is a strong emphasis on business related courses.
