BA in Aviation
Aviation is a combination of many opportunities. A first thought of aviation might be of flying as a pilot in a commercial aircraft, but aviation is a global organization that also needs well-organized managers and professional pilots to design, manage and operate the national and international aviation systems of the future. Aviation at Ohio State was started in 1917 and has produced many successful pilots and aviation managers.
Aviation is a high-technology, rapidly changing, competitive business operating in a global arena. Educated, professional managers are needed in over 50 career areas in the aviation industry. Transportation, economics and logistics, flight operations, and flight support are some of the many other positions that make up the exciting and challenging field of aviation.
