Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Aviation Management and Operations] From Western Michigan University

Our students will complete coursework in general education, aviation topics, and business courses including economics, finance, accountancy and marketing. Aviation courses include aerodynamics, aviation safety, aircraft systems, meteorology, airline management, airport management and international aviation. A student’s experience will culminate in a senior capstone project that includes the development of a business plan and utilizing an airline simulation to put the plan in action. The program curriculum is closely aligned with a general business minor from the Haworth College of Business. Students need to take one additional course to complete a general business minor.  Students that complete the Aviation Management and Operations program have completed the prerequisites for the Master of Business Administration—MBA—graduate degree at Western Michigan University and allows for a smooth transition for individuals wanting to pursue an advanced degree.
