Why Study Aviation and Aerospace Management Online at MSU Denver?

The Online Bachelor of Science in Aviation and Aerospace Management is designed for people who want to run the business side of aviation and aerospace. You learn how airports, airlines, corporate flight departments and aerospace companies are planned, staffed and managed.

The program combines aviation and aerospace coursework with a business minor, so you build both industry specific knowledge and general management skills.

You study with MSU Denver’s Aviation and Aerospace Science Department, one of the largest and most advanced collegiate aviation programs in the country and part of Colorado’s fast growing aviation and aerospace industry. That means access to modern labs, simulation tools and strong connections with local employers.

Faculty Who Practice What They Teach

Your online classes are taught by the same aviation and aerospace faculty who teach on campus and have spent years working in airports, airlines and safety roles.

For example, Professor Jeff Price is a national expert in airport operations and aviation security. Before joining MSU Denver, he worked at Denver’s Stapleton International Airport, helped open Denver International Airport as an assistant security director, and later served as an airport director.

He brings real case studies and current safety and security issues into class, so you see how management decisions affect passengers, employees and the overall operation of an airport.
