Universities Offering Aviation Degrees

A career in aviation usually evokes images of highly-paid airline pilots flying around the world. However, aviation offers many careers besides being a pilot. Careers in aviation include being an aircraft mechanic, air-traffic controller, aeronautical engineer, and electronics engineer. There are also non-technical fields such as aviation business management, technical management, and aviation law. Most of these fields require a bachelor's degree, and some require higher degrees or training.
