Aviation Management, MSA

This MSA program is fully online, but it’s far from impersonal.

Aviation is a small world, and Florida Tech makes it easy to connect with faculty and fellow students no matter where you are.

Engaging discussion boards, live sessions and collaboration create a supportive, interactive environment that mirrors the teamwork and communication critical in aviation.

This flexible format lets you advance your career while earning your master’s degree on a schedule that fits your professional and personal life.

Students in the aviation management master's degree program learn from faculty with extensive professional and academic expertise.

Their backgrounds include airport consulting and design, airline and general aviation management, aviation law and safety, avionics, meteorology, air traffic control and human factors. Many are experienced commercial, private or military pilots.

You’ll benefit from faculty who not only teach but also bring real-world aviation experience to the classroom.

Faculty members have authored textbooks and journal articles on aviation management and safety, and their research is widely cited in areas such as:

• Airport development and design
• Airport noise modeling
• Aviation safety management systems (SMS) and security
• Aviation computer applications
• Airline equipment financing and fleet management
• Environmental impacts of airport operations
• Situation awareness and aeronautical decision-making
• Operational challenges in the U.S. National Airspace System and NEXTGEN

Their work ensures that what you learn reflects the latest thinking and innovations in aviation management.

This program is designed for professionals with bachelor’s degrees in aviation-related fields or those with non-aviation degrees who have gained aviation foundational knowledge through experience and now require more specialized aviation management knowledge.

Even if your background is outside aviation, you may still be admitted—a prerequisite course in airspace safety can help you get started with confidence if you are making the transition into the field.
