The aviation sector offers a wide array of opportunities. While many initially picture flying a commercial airliner as a pilot, aviation is a worldwide enterprise that also requires skilled managers and expert pilots to design, manage, and run future national and international aviation systems. Ohio State's aviation program began in 1917 and has since graduated numerous accomplished pilots and aviation managers. As a high-tech, fast-paced, and competitive industry operating globally, aviation demands educated, professional managers across more than 50 career paths. Transportation, economics and logistics, flight operations, and flight support are just a few of the many roles that contribute to the dynamic and demanding world of aviation.
