    Aviation Management

    About

    This is an off-campus program that requires flight training and completion of degree requirements through WVU Tech online courses. If your primary objectives are flying and building flight time, this is the program for you. WVU Tech's comprehensive aviation management curriculum makes for a powerful aviation degree. In the BSAM program, students complete the majority of their initial flight training during their freshman year at the flight school of their choosing. While doing so, they also take online courses from WVU Tech. You'll learn the business, management, finance and aviation-specific skills you need to take your career to new heights in the cockpit - and the boardroom. And if you're certified to take to the skies, we'll work with you to provide credits for your current education and training.
