AVIATION (B.S., A.S.)
School of Business and Technology

Aviation programs are offered at both the associate and bachelor’s degree levels. MSU does not provide flight or maintenance training but does offer academic credit for FAA certificates and ratings. See the Aviation listing in the Courses of Instruction section for details.

The bachelor’s degree program combines business, management and specialized aviation courses with credit for FAA certifications in a program designed to meet the needs of working aviation professionals. Focused on current and projected industry needs, the program is appropriate for those involved in aviation management or maintenance and flight operations.

The associate degree combines FAA certifications with general education coursework and specialized studies in aviation to provide an academic foundation for aviation professionals.
