The Master of Science in Aviation and Transportation program equips graduates with diverse skills for careers in academia, industry, management, government, and aviation-related organizations. This curriculum examines the modern transportation sector and its regulatory framework through multiple lenses. Participants will gain insights into human factors and research's role in decision-making, while honing abilities in communication, personnel management, transportation project strategy, and safety quality systems. Ethical considerations and interpersonal dynamics are woven throughout all course materials.
All candidates for admission must possess a bachelor’s degree in aviation from a regionally-accredited institution of higher education or in a major in a related field. Individuals who have completed a bachelor’s degree in an unrelated area but have work experience in aviation and/or transportation industries may also apply. The applicant’s overall undergraduate GPA must be 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale. In special cases, the GPA may be calculated on the most recent 60 semester hours of coursework. Additionally, applicants must submit:
1. A completed application, accompanied by a nonrefundable application fee.
2. Academic transcripts from each institution of higher education attended.
3. A one-to-two page personal statement describing the applicant’s background and how the degree relates to the applicant’s career goals.
