Bachelor of Applied Science

Aviation Management Technology concentration

This concentration is for students who have received training and education in some aspect of the air transportation industry (other than aviation maintenance), such as flight certificates and ratings as part of their A.A.S. degree. Students receive an orientation in management practices that prepares them for advanced positions in the aviation management field.

The B.A.S. is a 60-semester-hour program, divided into four segments. Click on each segment for more information.

  • General Studies - 19 semester hours
    In consultation with an advisor, students choose courses from the ASU General Studies list that contribute to a coherent overall curriculum that helps them meet their educational goals. General Studies include Numeracy, Lab Science, Literacy, Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Science courses, including history, culture, and global awareness areas. All courses required by ASU must be upper-division courses.
  • B.A.S. Core - 15 semester hours
    The B.A.S. Core Curriculum focuses on management and organization, professional communication, statistical processes, and computer competencies. Students must take at least one three-semester-hour course in each of these four general categories. The remaining three semester hours are devoted to a second course in one of the above areas.
  • Concentration - 20 semester hours
    Students devote at least 20 semester hours to the concentration, either choosing from set curricula or developing a custom curriculum with the help of their advisor. Assignable Credits may be used to enhance the area of concentration.
  • Assignable Credits - six (6) semester hours
    Assignable Credits allow space in the curriculum for prerequisite courses some students might need to succeed in the program. Assignable credits may be used to strengthen specific capabilities, to strengthen knowledge of core areas, or can be used as elective.
