Online Aviation Degrees

The air transportation industry provided 515,000 jobs in 2004, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Degree programs in aviation science can provide a crucial foundation of knowledge for anyone pursuing a career in this field. An aviation science degree prepares students for a broad range of potential aviation careers, unlike a degree in aviation mechanics, which prepares students for one specific career.

Coursework towards an aviation science degree provides an in-depth understanding of aeronautics. It also covers such skills as:
  • Piloting aircraft
  • Air traffic control and dispatch communications
  • Maintenance of aircraft and flight facilities
  • Flight operations
Associate's degree programs cover the basics of aviation science. Bachelor's degree programs combine flight training with more in-depth academic coursework. Master's degree programs cover advanced topics such as weather phenomena and accident investigation, and are often pursued by established aviation professionals.

Jobs in the air transportation industry will expand in the long term as the population and economy grow, according to the BLS. In 2004, median annual salaries in aviation jobs ranged from $137,160 for pilots and flight engineers to $28,420 for customer service representatives. No degree can guarantee a particular job or salary, but applicants with degrees can expect the best job prospects in most aviation fields.
