The Aviation Management program at NSCC is designed to provide the student with the general management skills needed for entry-level positions as supervisors, managers or sales trainees, assistant managers, administrators, or administrative assistants in the field of aviation. Coursework in aviation sciences, accounting, economics, management, marketing, and other related business areas exposes students to the basic principles and applications of aviation management within the aviation industry.
Job opportunities in the aviation field include positions at major and regional airlines, fixed-base operators, aircraft and aircraft component manufacturers (including GE, and Pratt and Whitney), fractional operators, and corporate aviation flight departments, to name a few. According to the FAA, the aerospace industry outlook shows industry-wide sustained growth into the foreseeable future (FAA Aerospace Forecast: Fiscal Years 2013-2033. http://www.faa.gov).
