    1. Detailed instructions on how to complete this proposal are available in the full Curriculog User's Guide or in the New Program Proposal guide.
    2. Fields with an asterisk (*) are required. A proposal cannot be launched without data in each of the required fields.
    3. Once approved by the Originator, most subsequent approval steps will have a 15 calendar day deadline to make a decision. After 15 calendar days the proposal is automatically advanced to the next step. If there are questions or clarifications needed that require time beyond this deadline you may select the HOLD decision. However, this decision requires administrative approval, so will only be approved during normal business hours.
    4. Please email curriculog@cwu.edu with questions or if you need assistance in completing this proposal.

    Note: While a "New Program" may be offered the term following the final approval of the proposal, if the proposal requires the creation or modification of courses, the program's effective term must be the same as, or later than, those course proposals.

  • Program vs. Shared Core

    A shared core is an identical series of courses or blocks of text that can be used by multiple programs. A program is a set of courses or requirements unique to a single program. If you are unsure whether your proposal is a program or a shared core contact curriculog@cwu.edu for assistance.

    Department and College Narratives are built as shared cores.

    Programs may utilize shared cores as part of their curriculum, however any shared cores listed in the curriculum section will be locked for editing and can only be amended via a unique shared core Program Change Proposal.

  • Program vs. Shared Core*
    If you are unsure if this is a program or shared core, then select program. **Specialized programs are Shared Cores.** For further help or clarification, email curriculog@cwu.edu.

To avoid redundancies, it is advised to bring in any shared cores first, and add the information to the narrative only if clarifications, or additional information is required. For assistance in attaching an existing shared core, or in creating a new one, contact curriculog@cwu.edu.

  • Program Narrative*

    This specialization prepares graduates for entry into flight management in the aviation industry.

    Students enrolling in this specialization must already possess an FAA Commercial Pilot  certificate or above. Thirty-six to forty-five credits (depending on number and type of FAA certificates and ratings) will be accepted upon completion of all other degree requirements.

    Program Learner Outcomes

    Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

    • Define and summarize the role of the three major categories of domestic and international aviation: general aviation, airlines, and government (civil and military).
    • Apply business management techniques of accounting, economics, finance, management, human resource management, and business law to aviation-specific situations and problems.
    • Apply general management concepts to specific aviation-related environments such as Fixed Base Operators (FBOs), airports, airlines and the aerospace industry.
    • Describe the fundamental principles of an aviation safety management program and identify the major operational hazards applicable to general aviation and airline operations.
    • Exhibit the verbal and written communication skills needed to interact with aviation professionals, business, and management
  • Admission Requirements
  • Graduation Requirements
  • Program Requirements

  • Program Curriculum

    In this field you will build all of the course requirements for the program. Existing courses can be imported into this program by selecting the "Import Course" from the "View Curriculum Courses" view below (this is the default view). If this program will use an existing shared core, that core can be imported from the Online Catalog by clicking "View Curriculum Schema" icon below, and then clicking "Import Core". Please Note: If you import a core you do not need to import the courses within that shared core. Prior to launch, non-shared cores can be imported as well, but this is a more involved process. It is suggested that users attempting this for the first time contact curriculog@cwu.edu for assistance.

    Once all desired courses have been added to the course list, they must also be assigned to a core in the schema.

    More detailed instructions on how to complete this section are available here.

  • Program Curriculum *

  • Online Program Options

    In the field below please indicate whether the program being proposed will have an online only option available for students.

    Please note: Choosing that the program does not have an online only option does not preclude individual students from completing the program using exclusively online courses. Designating an "online only" option requires the department to maintain a pathway for timely completion of the program that is entirely online.

  • Designated online availability for this program:*
  • If "The program does not have a designated online only option." was selected above, please choose the most applicable option below.
Required Summary Information

  • Justification for the Program

    This is the field where you will provide a justification for the creation of this program.  If this section is not complete, the proposal will be returned to the originator.  

    In the box below please address:

    • How will this new program enhance the curriculum of your department, college, and the university?
    • What specific needs are being addressed that are not being met in other programs? 
    • ​Document the demand for this program.
  • Justification*

    The Aviation Management degree has a Maintenance Mangement (MM) option for students with the FAA Airframe and Powerplant certificate. This option will allow a pilot working in the aviation industry with an FAA Commercial Pilot certificate or above earn the Aviation Management degree. The specialization is the same as the MM option, but with different FAA certificates and ratings. The Executive Pilot option will give FAA certificated pilots more options and increase enrollment in the Aviation Management program.

     

  • Program Impacts, Costs, and Revenues

    The process for completion of this section is currently being reviewed. Please contact the Associate Vice Provost for details on what information needs to be included as well as the appropriate format.

    When advised to, this information can be inserted into the text field below or added as a supplemental file to the proposal.

  • Program Impacts, Costs, and Revenues

    Because of the pilot shortage, many professional pilots are entering the field without a 4-year degree. After several years in the field they are learning that advancement opportunities are limited because of the lack of a 4-year degree. This specialization will give professionals the opportunity to complete a 4-year degree without adding any cost to the University. We anticipate there will be a modest increase in enrollment in the Aviation Mangement program.

  • Library Resources

    A detailed review of the allocations or other impacts that the proposed program will have on the library is required. Part 1 of the assessment is completed by the Originator, who will then copy and paste the entire document into the text box below. Part 2 will be completed by the library and pasted into the subsequent field.

  • Library Resources Pt. 1*

    There will be no additional library resources needed.

  • Library Resources Pt. 2

    Current subscription resources available to support new program: 

    • It does not appear that any new courses are being created. Current resources are sufficient.  

    Evaluation of current monographic and media resources (number of volumes and currency of collection): 

    • It does not appear that any new courses are being created. Current resources are sufficient.  

    Anticipated cost of resources required for accreditation: 

    • Single purchase costs: n/a 

    • Subscription costs: n/a 

    Cost of any additional subscription resources requested by department: 

    • Journals: n/a 

    • Databases: n/a 

    • Streaming Video: n/a

  • The preferred format for this is the "Program Student Learning Outcome Assessment Plan" form. For assistance or questions please email curriculog@cwu.edu.


  • Program Student Learner Outcomes*

    Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
