Master of Science in Aeronautics
Offered jointly by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA), the 36 credit-hour MSA degree program is similar to the Master of Business Administration in Aviation degree but with less of a business and management focus, and more of a technical, operations and safety oriented focus. As some courses are highly technical, more of an aviation background is needed.
MSA program highlights:
- Combines solid core classes with unique specializations targeting the Asian aviation and aerospace industry
- Learn the tools needed to develop, manufacture and operate aircraft and spacecraft
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of the infrastructure that supports the industry
- Concentrations in Aeronautics, Safety Systems, Education Technology, Operations, Human Factors in Aviation Systems and Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
- The benefit of learning from faculty who are experienced industry professionals themselves
