The Master of Science in Aviation and Aerospace Sustainability (MSAAS) degree program presents a holistic and proactive way to examine and manage aviation/aerospace sustainability. It is designed to provide students with the knowledge to apply and create sustainability strategies, schemes, and programs for aviation and aerospace organizations, creating a competitive advantage while improving the world.
Today, aviation and aerospace industries operate on a global scale and recognize the need to consider social and environmental indicators in addition to financial ones. This program cultivates a growth mindset, knowledge, and skills needed to promote sustainability. Students apply existing environmental schemes to reduce the industry's carbon footprint and enhance sustainability practices within the industry's operations and procedures. The MSAAS provides a collaborative learning environment rich with opportunities to challenge current thought processes, work in autonomous or group settings and connect with diverse populations worldwide.
