The Bachelor of Science Degrees in Airway Science offer opportunities for excellent employment and professional advancement to undergraduate students seeking a bright future in aviation.
The phenomenal growth of the U.S. airline system since 1978 has witnessed 247 million airline passengers grow to over half a billion each year. Projections are for the number of airline travelers to reach 750 million by the year 2010.
To meet current and future demands, commercial aviation requires well-educated, highly qualified professionals to step into an increasingly technological world. Texas Southern University is one of a few institutions of higher education approved by, and in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), to prepare the technically-trained people needed for aviation careers.
Through the Airway Science Program at Texas Southern University, students prepare for such diverse career fields in aviation as air traffic control, airline management, airport management, aviation information systems management, and flight operations. Students also have a unique opportunity to participate in the flight training program in TSU.
