Master of Science in Aviation Management and Logistics

Program Overview

The Master of Science degree in Aviation Management and Logistics prepares graduates to perform at an advanced level in organizations that move people and/or goods via air transport.

Students in the program examine the business of aviation logistics and its role in the global supply chain. In addition, they learn techniques necessary to understand and develop an aviation logistics model for producing an accurate and effective forecast for demand of aviation services.

Students are given practical experience in the negotiating, vetting and managing of vendor and labor contracts. They also learn the economic, regulatory, political, geographical and human-centric challenges facing the industry today, including profit strategies, human-error interventions tactics and post-9/11 security legislation concerning air cargo operations.

Safety policy, risk management, assurance and safety promotion are the key focus areas, and students take an in-depth study of the concepts, principals, design, implementation and administration of aviation safety management systems. As weather events are so disruption to an aviation organization, students gain an understanding of hazardous weather and the products to predict weather impact on aviation operations.
