Minors in Airway Science

Besides the major programs, the School offers three minors as a secondary field of study or specialization during undergraduate studies. These courses are in addition to the required bachelor courses.

Minor in Aviation Management

This minor is aimed at students of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). Students from other programs may take the minor but will have to take the following prerequisite courses: GEMA 1200, BADM 1900, BADM 4300, MAEC 2211, MAEC 2212, and MAEC 2221.

Minor in Commercial Pilot

This minor is open to any student. All students must present a First Class Medical Certificate issued by a medical doctor recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAR Part 67) in order to take classes with a flight laboratory. The students in this minor will take theory and flight courses using the resources provided by the University. These resources include the services that, due to their nature, may be subcontracted.

Minor in Air Traffic Control

This minor is open to any student.  The FAA has created a network of partnerships with educational institutions to prepare students to pursue their goal of a career in aviation with the FAA. This effort is known as the Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI). The School of Aeronautics is one the partners selected by the FAA. Successful completion of the minor does not guarantee employment with the FAA, however interested graduates should apply for FAA positions through USAJOBS. The AT-CTI program is designed to provide qualified candidates for developmental air traffic control specialist positions.
