SLU is also one of only a few schools in the world with an online aviation management degree program, offered at our School for Professional Studies. If you choose to major in aviation management, you will learn to manage airlines or direct corporate flight offices and be well versed in the technical language of the industry. All classes can be taken online.

If you pursue the aviation management degree online, you can get actual flight experience and earn commercial pilot ratings and certificates as a fixed-wing or helicopter pilot through SLU’s partnership with Midwest Helicopter.

Graduates who pursue the Helicopter Pilot Preparation programleave the program with private, commercial and instrument helicopter licenses. They can fly as an independent contract aviator, as a commercial pilot or a government employee with the Federal Aviation Administration or the Department of Agriculture.
