Air traffic control personnel, flight crew members, flight operations specialists and technical representatives within the aviation and aerospace industry require a technical skill set. Whether you already work in one of these roles or aspire to, a Master of Science in Aeronautics (MSA) may help you reach your goals.
Offered by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the 30 credit-hour Aeronautics master's degree program zeros in on technical, operations and safety-oriented aspects of aviation. As some modules are highly technical, some prior background in aviation would be helpful.
Already Embry-Riddle’s largest graduate program in the United States, this program is an exciting addition to the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University offerings in Singapore as it will give students the chance to be prepared for senior-level positions and critical leadership roles demanded in Singapore’s thriving aviation and aerospace industry.
