Answer
Hi,

Most MBA programs have a pre-program that you can take of pre-requisite courses required before you enter the actual MBA program itself.  This pre-program is for any non-business major (such as yourself from computer science) who wants to take an MBA program but does not have the undergraduate preparation to do so. The pre-program normally takes about one or two semesters and includes accounting, finance, marketing and other classes.

Universities that offer the MBA in Aviation are:

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida, USA

Concordia University, John Molson School of Business, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Both programs are quite good.

As far as entering salaries that you can expect with an MBA in Aviation, I would say it would be $35,000 US and up.
