The university, through its Extended Campus, offers degree programs through the master's level to more than 18,000 students annually throughout the United States and the world.

Our online programs serve students whose schedule or geographic location prevents them from attending regularly scheduled classes at a residential campus or teaching center. The programs support and connect students in a learning community through web-based support groups, e-mail discussion forums, an online help desk and online bookstores. Many of our distance learners find the interaction with faculty and among students to be greater than in traditional classrooms.

Master of Aeronautical Science
Students appreciate the Master of Aeronautical Science (MAS) program's solid core of classes, partnered with a range of specialties that are tailored to individual interests. You'll master the tools needed in the development, manufacture and operation of aircraft and spacecraft and gain a comprehensive understanding of the infrastructure that supports the industry. MAS graduates have used their degrees to secure positions ranging from Superintendent of Operations at Los Angeles International Airport to Chief of Weapons Safety in the United States Air Force.

Whether you're a pilot, an educator, an air traffic controller or otherwise involved in the wide-ranging spectrum of aviation -- an MAS degree can open doors, often positioning graduates for a move into supervisory or management positions.
