Aviation offers a wide range of possibilities. While many initially picture flying as a commercial pilot, the aviation sector is a worldwide network that also requires skilled managers and expert pilots to plan, oversee, and run future national and international aviation systems. The aviation program at Ohio State 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 for more than 50 different career paths. Other roles in this dynamic and demanding field include transportation, economics and logistics, flight operations, and flight support.
