Question
Hello David,

I am a student from india.I am done with my schooling(Physics and Maths).Now i wish to become a pilot.So i will be doing my ground training here in india and then would be coming to US for my entire training.
Now what i want to know is that after say 15 yrs or so..i would like to settle down.That's just a thought.Like i would like to do Aviation Management...or even an MBA from some reputed US university.
Can you suggest what all options i'll have after becoming a pilot and say after flying for 15 years...

Thanks

Answer
HI,

The best options in North American for an aviation-related MBA program are:

Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada

and

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida, USA

I believe that both offer on-line options, which gives you some flexibility to go to school and continue to fly.
