GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS
MSA – Airport Development and Management _______
major Code: 8214 Degree awarded: Master of Science in Aviation
age restriction: N admission status: graduate
Delivery mode/s: classroom Location/s: main campus
admission materials: 3 letters of
recommendation, résumé, objectives, GRE
The Master of Science in Aviation (MSA) is designed to help meet
the professional growth needs of persons interested in a wide range
of aviation careers.
The degree is especially relevant for those who have earned baccalaureate
degrees in aviation and those who have worked in the aviation
field and now require more specialized knowledge. Generally,
persons interested in careers in airport or airline management,
airport consulting and governmental organizations involved in the
management or regulation of airports should select the airport
development and management option. Persons interested in aviation
safety, accident investigation, technical aviation consulting and
educational, regulatory or investigative positions in government or
trade organizations would find the applied aviation safety option
most appropriate.
Admission Requirements
The applicant to the Master of Science in Aviation – Airport
Development and Management program must have earned a bachelor’s
degree, or its equivalent, from an institution of acceptable
academic standing. To be considered for admission, the student’s
academic and professional record must indicate a high probability
the applicant will be able to pursue graduate work satisfactorily.
Undergraduate degrees need not be in aviation; however, preparatory
coursework may be required in specific areas to assure successful
pursuit of the MSA. Such coursework is determined by the
College of Aeronautics before admission. The student is advised of
any such requirements before final acceptance.
General admission requirements and the process for applying are
presented in the Academic Overview section.
