Aviation Management (Airline/Airport) Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)

Soar to Success with an Aviation Management Degree

Marywood’s Aviation Management program offers two specialized tracks, catering to aspiring pilots and individuals intrigued by the business aspects of airport operations. One track focuses on pilot and flight operations, ideal for those with ambitions to soar the skies, while the other delves into airline management, catering to those inclined towards the business facets of airport operations and administration.

The fusion of aviation management with business education represents a distinguishing advantage for students, offering exceptional prospects for career advancement. On-campus pilot ground instruction supplements the program, while flight operations are facilitated through a partnership with FlyGATEWAY based out of the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton International Airport situated approximately fifteen minutes from Marywood's campus.

Graduates of the Airline Management degree program find that having the combination BBA degree in both Aviation Management and Business is a great asset to their professional career advancement opportunities.

Wyoming Valley Airport

Flight training is conducted at the Wyoming Valley Airport (KWBW). This unique, uncontrolled field offers many challenges that aid in the student's learning experience. After obtaining the necessary licenses and ratings, several of Marywood’s students have stayed on board to be instructors for Marywood's Aviation Program. Here they build the necessary flight time and gain experience as their careers progress. 

McGowan Center for Graduate and Professional Studies

The McGowan Center is home to the School of Business and Global Innovation. The building has state-of-the-art classrooms and computer labs.

Wall Street West Financial Lab

In 2008 a classroom in the McGowan Center was renovated into a real-time business lab. Complete with a constant stock ticker, 20 new computers, and up-to-date financial software; the new business lab helps students get the knowledge they need for the financial workforce. Also, the high-tech lab works hand-in-hand with the student-run portfolio, the Pacer Investment Fund. The Pacer Investment Fund provides students with a solid knowledge of dealing with a stock portfolio. Students deal with actual money from investors and track their stocks. Along with handling real money, business students also have to observe the performance of the investor’s stock.
