Dowling College informs ANN that
they now offer the nation's only MBA in Aviation Management with an
option to take an additional four undergraduate aviation courses.
This MBA enables students with a non-aviation undergraduate degree
to sit for the FAA Air Traffic Control Exam. This program offers
students who already have undergraduate degrees in any field the
opportunity to make a career change. This degree program can also
help current aviation professionals advance their careers and
ensure that they become valuable assets to the air transport
organization with which they are affiliated.
The MBA in Aviation Management provides students with an
understanding of the air transport industry, the challenges and
issues it faces, while simultaneously providing the aviation
industry with what it needs most; aviation management graduates who
understand the intricacies of the air transport business. The air
transport industry plays a vital role in today's global society. As
the primary mode of long- distance transport within and between
nations, air transport has become a crucial facilitator of economic
activity. Liberalization, technological change, and falling trade
barriers are some of the trends that have ensured that we are
living in an increasingly global society. By facilitating the
movement of people and goods, air transport acts as a catalyst and
contributes to the world's economies.
"The FAA enthusiastically supports Dowling's effort to include
the MBA Program in the qualifying degrees for the AT-CTI program,"
said Sherry Reese, FAA, Acting Manager, Controller Training
Division.
Dowling College is an independent, coeducational college that
serves more than 6,500 students at its historic Rudolph Campus on
the banks of the Connetquot River in Oakdale, NY, and the 105-acre
Brookhaven Campus in eastern Long Island and a business center
located near the Nassau-Suffolk border in Melville. Dowling offers
Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees in several disciplines
through its four schools: Arts and Sciences, Aviation, Business,
and Education.
