Vaughn College and SNIST are initially approved to offer three degree programs beginning fall 2007:

Airline Management
Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree

The airline management program is targeted toward meeting a need in the airline industry for qualified managers who have specialized training in this profession. Graduates of this program will be able to secure entry-level to mid-level management positions in airlines. The program includes a substantial component of liberal arts and basic science courses. The program includes general, and then aviation and airline management courses. Students should be able to complete the requirements of the Bachelor of Science degree in four years if they attend full time. While obtaining the airline management degree, students may choose to take the three courses to complete the FAA's Air Traffic Control-Collegiate Training Initiative Program requirements.

Airport Management Degree
Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree

The field of airport management is a unique discipline with its roots in general business, but driven by the high-tech world of aviation and transportation. Students of the airport management degree program will concentrate on subjects as diverse as wildlife hazards, eco-system management, airfield safety, and emergency planning and control. The Bachelor of Science airport management degree has been developed to provide students proficiency in all areas of airport operations. Our location, adjacent to world-class LaGuardia Airport, provides a learning environment unsurpassed with regard to activities, resources and personnel. Students will have the ability to investigate first-hand the areas of airport management, control of ground vehicles, communication systems, airport security, fire and rescue service, terminal planning and management, and airport maintenance. This educational background affords the student many entry-level career opportunities in the field of airport management and operations. The language requirements may be satisfied by enrollment in either two terms of French or two terms of Spanish. These courses are designed for non-native speakers; therefore, no by-pass examinations will be allowed. Native speakers should enroll in the alternate language. Students should also be aware that the Computerized Language Lab in the Academic Resource Center should be utilized for review and enhancement for at least two hours per week. This degree can be tailored to accommodate the requirements of the Collegiate Training Initiative-Air Traffic Control Program. Full-time students can complete this airport management degree program in eight semesters or in four years.

Electronic Engineering Technology - Avionics Concentration
Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree

The major course component of the avionics technology BS degree has been developed to provide students proficiency in sophisticated aviation electronics systems found on board commercial, corporate and private aircraft. The program will stress the fundamentals of engineering, science and technology as they apply to today's modern fleet of aircraft. In addition, the program has been designed to bridge the gap between the technician and the engineer in the aeronautical environment. This degree program provides in-depth application of theory and physical sciences to advanced avionics systems found on today's modern fleet of aircraft. The curriculum includes the avionics courses of the AAS avionics degree program which applies mathematics and science to electrical circuits, digital electronics, aircraft communication/navigation systems, and aircraft pulse/radar systems. The additional avionics courses of the BS degree cover aircraft power/distribution systems, flight control/management systems, electronics flight instrument systems, long-range navigation systems, integrated avionics systems and traffic alert and avoidance systems. Avionics installation and maintenance, reliability and maintainability, as well as integrated logistics support courses are also covered as part of this degree program. Full-time students can complete this degree program in eight semesters or in four years.
