Are you ready to explore the world of aviation and aerospace? Our graduates help shape the strategic directions of airlines and airports, they join consultancies to develop innovative solutions for complex business problems, or they manage the sales, distribution, and operations of aviation and aerospace technologies across the globe.
The David B. O'Maley College of Business offers two undergraduate degree programs:
- Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with three majors
- Bachelor of Science in Aviation Business Administration with two majors
The O'Maley College of Business also offers a Master of Business Administration, a Master of Business Administration in Aviation Management, a Master of Science in Aviation Finance and a Ph.D. in Aviation Business Administration.
The fundamentals of marketing, management, and operations apply equally to every industry. Students in these programs learn the skills fundamental to manage and lead aerospace and aviation organizations. Students interested in airline management, for example, analyze route structures and fleet assignments to achieve highly effective and efficient networks.
Along the way, students gain valuable experience working with aviation-specific software, real world research projects, internships, and numerous college-sponsored clubs and activities. The faculty in the College of Business includes some of the most innovative minds in the field — many of whom are authors of best-selling textbooks and published research articles.
