  Can you please help me find a good university which has MBA in aviation which may take commerce graduates.

Answer
Hi,

Most MBA programs are flexible about who they admit, as long as you can meet their entrance requirements (grades, test scores, etc, as well as course pre-requisites).  On course pre-requisites, some MBA programs require those applying to have an undergraduate business degree background......if you do not have such a background, then, you will be required to take coursework to fulfill this requirement (such things as accounting, finance, introduction to management, marketing and so forth).  Some of the schools known for the MBA in Aviation are Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (Daytona Beach, Florida, USA), Daniel Webster University (Nashua, New Hampshire, USA) and Dubai Aerospace Enterprise University in the United Emirates.  You will have to check with each one to find out what their entrance requirements are....
