AIR AND SPACE STUDIES


Analysis of Research in Aviation, Aerospace, and Planetary Science

Associate of Science | Bachelor of Science | Master of Science |  Doctor of Philosophy

The world of air and space meet together in the command, responsibility, and precision required to function within the flight industry. Engineers, mechanics, pilots and weathermen are responsible for essential roles in aerospace. By day, complex tasks advance toward common transportation goals. At night, launched satellites and stars pepper the night sky.


Thessalonika A. Embry University establishes foundations of knowledge and sparks career advancement through the Air and Space Studies degree program. Specifically, students are equipped as leaders who will competently manage challenges within industries of safety management, unmanned systems, aircraft and airline support, meteorology, transportation, defense, and aeronautics.


Students have the opportunity to attain FAA private pilot certification, UAS training, and government contracting support. This 12-month degree program contains four phases: Warfighter General Education (30 credits), Associate Core (30 credits) Bachelor (60 credits), Master (30 credits), and Doctorate (60 credits) for a total of 210 credit hours. The program starts on-demand, flexibly on your schedule. You can begin enrollment immediately after you are admitted.


What can you do with a Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate degree in Air and Space Studies?


Launch your career. The possibilities are endless. The demand for expanded technology is growing within the U.S. Dept. of Defense, U.S. Dept. of State, NASA, NOAA, related to aviation, aerospace, meteorology, and STEM advancement. With a strong educational background developed at TAEU, you can transition into lucrative government contracting opportunities.


Enrich yourself.  Designed to fuel interest in aviation and lay the groundwork for a successful career in the aerospace industry, the TAEU Air and Space program comprehensively surveys aviation history, aviation safety, preparation for FAA knowledge and licensure, and analysis of physics, weather, and aeronautics. 


Develop thought leadership. The Doctorate phase of the Air and Space program will guide you through milestones of developing your own scholarly publications to contribute to the field, so others can learn and benefit from your experiences.
