About the Program

Purdue’s fully online MS in Aviation and Aerospace Management is designed for driven professionals who want to break into or advance within the challenging, specialized world of aviation. Students can develop essential management and leadership skills applicable to the aviation field. Taught by professors with distinguished educational backgrounds and extensive work experience in civilian aviation, military aviation, and government, the program’s industry-specific courses will prepare students for numerous aviation management roles.

Economic forecasts suggest that a steady increase in traveling passenger and air cargo requirements will fuel a dramatic expansion of the aviation industry and require a complete restructure of the existing air transportation system architecture. This industry growth is generating a wide range of leadership opportunities for individuals who possess aviation and aerospace management skills in fields such as operational analysis, safety systems development, project management, systems integration, environmental sustainability, and related interdisciplinary skills.

The program curriculum is designed to develop analytic and problem-solving skills and give students mastery of technical and statistical tools for decision-making. Considering Purdue University is a tier-one research university, students in the aerospace and aviation graduate program can develop research topics in areas that correspond to their career interests and work closely with experienced faculty on accomplishing their goals.
