Kansas State University Polytechnic Campus is expanding its\naviation offerings to include an online bachelor’s degree geared for students\nwho have previously earned aviation-related certificates, ratings, licensures\nor college credit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This spring, a Bachelor of Science in aeronautical\ntechnology with a professional aviation option has launched at Kansas State\nPolytechnic. The online program combines a business and leadership emphasis\nwith an aviation area of concentration in which the student already has\nexperience. It is designed to provide a pathway for students to build on their\ntraining, advance their skills and complete a bachelor’s degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We wanted to offer a degree that would give students\nthe opportunity to accomplish their professional goals by maximizing the value\nof the college credit or certifications they have already achieved,” said\nTroy Brockway, aviation professor at Kansas State Polytechnic. “The\nprofessional aviation degree is convenient with its online option and is\ncomprehensive by welcoming a variety of transferrable aviation specialties. It\nalso will enhance students’ employability and will assist with their upward\nmobility in the industry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students can transfer in up to 60 credit hours with up to 35\nof those hours being in an aviation focus, such as professional pilot, aviation\nmaintenance, air traffic control, airport management, unmanned aircraft\nsystems, avionics and aviation safety. The degree utilizes the students’\naviation focus by connecting it with classes in management, leadership and\nbusiness, including Aviation Law, Practices of Industrial and Labor Relations,\nManagerial and Project Economics, and Supervisory Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who consider the professional aviation degree could\ninclude students who have obtained flight ratings at a different university or\nat an airport fixed-base operator, an A&P aircraft maintenance technician,\nan air traffic controller, members of the military, and an aviation-focused\nassociate degree holder. Once students have graduated with this bachelor’s\ndegree, they can expect to seek careers in every facet of aviation including\nsales, management, operations, maintenance and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
