The aviation/business program is a dual-degree program that affords students the opportunity to receive a Bachelor′s degree in Business Administration from Geneva College and an Associate in Applied Science degree from the Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) in:

• Professional Pilot
• Air Traffic Control (terminal or enroute)
• Aerospace Management
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

The need for aviation experts is growing. For example, one legacy commercial airline reports that up to 90% of its professional pilots will be retired within 20 years. Airlines are offering signing bonuses for new pilots, some in the tens of thousands of dollars. There’s never been a better time to pursue the educational mix you get from this unique set of aviation and business degree programs.
