Lehigh Carbon Community College in Schnecksville, Pa. is introducing a new Aviation Management Associate in Science degree program at its Lehigh Valley International Airport aviation center.
The school said the new program compliments its existing Aviation Science and Professional Pilot offerings.
“Adding Aviation Management to our curriculum ensures LCCC remains at the forefront of workforce development in the Lehigh Valley,” said LCCC’s Scott Aquila, dean of Business, Legal, and Institutional Effectiveness. “By equipping students with both industry-specific knowledge and essential business skills, we are opening doors to rewarding, high-demand careers both on the ground and in the air.”
With the addition of the Aviation Management program, LCCC said it now offers three specialized academic tracks including Aviation Management. Graduates of this program will be qualified for management positions in air carrier operations, commuter airlines, corporate aviation, aviation-related government agencies, and fixed base operations.
Aviation Science graduates may become airport operations inspectors, airport managers, fixed-base operator managers, corporate or airline scheduling coordinators and customer service representatives.
Professional Pilot provides students earn the commercial pilot certificate for single and multiengine airplanes, an airplane instrument rating and the Certified Flight Instructor certificate.
