This program prepares students for ground operations and airport management. Ground operations involve all aspects of aircraft handling at the airport as well as aircraft movement around the aerodrome. Managers are at the center of the airport. They are the decision-makers and policy-makers for airports. They create jobs and manage each airport department. The job is multi-faceted and vital to aviation safety. Airports are often one of the largest employers in a local area.

Corporate aviation is one of the largest growing entities within the aviation community. The corporate side of aviation has flourished, with an increased demand for larger aircraft and “Third Crew” member responsibilities and placements.
