Question
I AM UNDER GRADUTE STUDENT OF AERONAUTICAL
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT AVIATION MANAGEMENT

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Aviation management or aviation administration has been an undergraduate major offered by some universities in the United States for over 60 years.  More recently, it is also an option with MBA programs at the graduate level.  

Aviation management degrees prepare graduates to work throughout the aviation industry (aviation manufacturing, airlines, general aviation, airports, government, etc) in jobs related to aviation operations, marketing, finance, sales, personnel, scheduling, planning, public relations, training support, contract management and many other others.

Degree programs in aviation management were first offered by such famous institutions in the USA as Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and Parks College of St. Louis University and are now offered by over 100 other higher education institutions throughout the USA and across the globe.  A good list of such institutions is contained in THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION GUIDE, which is available from the University Aviation Association at www.uaa.aero

Best wishes to you in your pursuit of your college career,
