Students complete the core courses and at least one area of specialization. It provides an opportunity for flight crew members, air traffic control personnel, flight operations specialists, industry technical representatives and aviation educators to enhance their knowledge and pursue additional career opportunities. Entry into the MAS programs requires possession of an undergraduate foundation in the areas of college-level mathematics, introduction to computers, economics, behavioral science, and aviation rules and regulations.
Students then complete twelve to fifteen credits which make up the selected specialization.
The remaining credits consist of electives, and either a thesis or graduate research project. The thesis option is not available to the Extended Campus students, except in the Human Factors specialization. MAS Students can also complete courses leading to dual specialization. The dual specialization is declared prior to the completion of the degree program.
