Aviation Safety, M.S.A

The Master of Science in Aviation - Aviation Safety degree program is designed for adult working professionals in public, private and military aviation-related professions where advanced knowledge of aviation safety is necessary. Persons interested in aviation safety management, accident/incident investigation, technical aviation consulting and educational, regulatory or investigative positions in government or private organizations would find this program appropriate.

The degree is especially relevant for those who have earned undergraduate degrees in aviation-related fields or those who have non-aviation-related degrees and who have gained aviation foundational knowledge through experience and now require more specialized aviation safety knowledge.
