David Byers Dissertation Byers, D. A. (2004). The Making of the Modern Airport Executive: Causal Connections among Key Attributes in Career Development, Compromise, and Satisfaction in Airport Management. ProQuest Dissertations Publishing, 3127101. • The author identified specific career development attributes of contemporary senior-level airport executives and evaluated the relationship of these attributes to the level of satisfaction airport executives have in their career choice. Attribute sets that were examined included early aviation interests, health factors, psychological factors, demographic factors, formal educa- tion, and other aviation-related experiences. A hypothesized causal career path model was developed that expressed the relationship these attributes had on the satisfaction with airport management as a career choice. The results of the path analysis indicated that four attri- bute sets (early aviation interests, health factors, formal education, and other aviation-related experiences) had both direct and indirect significant effects on career satisfaction.

98 A P P E N D I X A A fundamental component of the scope of this project is identifying and evaluating the char- acteristics of various institutions offering a baccalaureate aviation management degree. Gen- eral information, such as the institution’s location, form of ownership (i.e., whether public or private), organizational structure, and tuition was collected. For most programs, detailed cur- riculum data was investigated to determine the number of courses and credit hours committed to aviation-related and airport-specific topics. These courses were identified by course number, credit hours, course description, and categorized along generalized aviation-related topical areas including the following: • Management and/or Administration • Operations • Planning • Development • Economics and Finance • Marketing and Communications • FBO and Corporate Management • ATC and Airspace • Safety and/or Security • Environment • Regulations and Law • Capstone or Culminating Experience • Career Development • Internship (Required) • Other Technical Courses These aviation-related courses were also identified if they were specific to airports (if the term airport appeared in the course title or course description). The cumulative credit hours for aviation-related and airport-specific courses in the curriculum were compared with the total required credit hours for graduation to assess the depth and breadth of the students’ under- standing of airports as a fundamental piece of the National Air Transportation System. Aviation Management Programs Two primary resources were used to identify institutions offering a degree in aviation management. These programs were found among the listings of 4-year colleges from the UAA’s 2019 Aviation Directory and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association’s (AOPA) 2020 Col- legiate Aviation Program Directory. From these two directories, a total of 96 separate colleges and universities were identified. Database of Programs

Database of Programs 99 These programs were assessed to determine if their curriculum included at least one airport- specific course. A total of 65 programs (68%) met the initial screening criteria for a more detailed investigation of the program’s curriculum. Program curriculum maps that describe the sequence that courses are taken were used to compare the representative programs. Other identifying characteristics included 22 aviation management programs that have been accredited by the AABI. See Appendix B for more information on accreditation standards. Also, 26 programs were identified as having a current affiliation with the AAAE through an established student chapter. Table A-1 presents a summary of the 65 aviation management programs that were included in the curriculum evaluation. Curriculum Summary The curriculum of each program was reviewed to determine the total number of credit hours required for graduation as well as aviation-related and airport-specific coursework. Open (unrestricted) elective hours were also included in the evaluation to assess the opportunity for enhancing airport-specific coursework. Table A-2 presents a summary of curriculum of the 65 programs. Tuition Summary Tuition is the cost of attending the program each semester and is usually represented as a flat fee based on the student taking a minimum of 12 credit hours. Tuition beyond the minimum course hours is based on a per-credit-hour rate (a standard 3-credit-hour course will be three times the per-credit-hour rate). Some programs may not have a flat semester tuition fee but each course is added a la carte to the cost of attendance. Most programs will have additional fees for each course broken out to pay for course expenses and other university budget items. Most public institutions are subsidized by federal and state aid programs and other resources and thus, have lower tuition rates than private institutions that do not have access to those benefits. Also, public institutions subsidized by state tax revenues will generally have much higher tuition rates for non-resident students since state funds are used for the exclusive benefit of in-state residents. Many institutions participate in regional tuition reciprocity or discount programs to offset out-of-state tuition rates. As an example, the Midwest Student Exchange Program has nine member states, including Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Non-residents attending public insti- tutions in these states pay 150% of the in-state tuition compared with the full out-of-state rate. Tuition rates at most private institutions follow the same conventions (flat semester rate) as public institutions; however, the rates are significantly higher, and these institutions do not differentiate students by state of residency. Table A-3 presents a summary of tuition rates sorted from low to high and distinguished by public versus private institutions. Airport-Specific Course Content Airport-specific courses offered by the various aviation management programs were examined by topic and content. In many cases, programs offered only one or two airport courses, usually entitled airport management, airport operations, or airport administration. Other programs included more airport-related courses, some with airport management concentrations within the degree major.

106 Enhancing Academic Programs to Prepare Future Airport Industry Professionals Many courses include more than one topic, such as airport planning and management or airport planning and design, and they appear to be organized around a specific text. Table A-4 includes an analysis of airport-specific course content among the various programs. The 1st order terms reflect the primary topic of a course. The 2nd order terms reflect the secondary topic of a course. For example, 50 courses among 46 programs were found to have a course where the airport management is either a primary (38 courses) or secondary (12 courses) topic. A course in airport management would be considered a course with management as a 1st order topic, while it would be considered a 2nd order topic in a course in airport planning and management. Relevant Airport/Aviation Curriculum Summary A database containing the 65 aviation management programs was compiled for use in the analysis of descriptive and comparative factors as well as the detailed evaluation of the curriculum. The analysis identified several specific aviation management programs that offered a significant number of airport-related courses as well those with only one or two courses. Also, as given in Table A-4, there is a wide variety of airport-related course content among these programs. Although a basic information profile was developed for all 65 programs, the 41 representative programs have a detailed map of their curriculum, including the course number and title of each aviation- related and airport-specific course. Table A-5 contains a matrix of relevant airport-specific courses as well as aviation-related courses that have some significance to airport courses offered by each program.

110 A P P E N D I X B Important Note: The following discussion on accreditation does not reflect an endorsement of any accrediting organization by ACRP or the authors but is provided to illustrate specific characteristics and criteria by which most programs can be assessed whether or not they are accredited. Most institutions of higher learning subscribe to a form of accreditation as a means to ensure the quality of their programs of study. Criteria for accreditation are set by independent associa- tions that may be aligned along regional, national, or specific professional interests. Public col- leges and universities generally subscribe to regional accreditation bodies such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), and the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). Nationally accredited schools are generally characterized as for-profit and vocational/technical programs. The Accrediting Commission on Career Schools and Colleges and the American Academy for Liberal Education are two examples of national accreditation agencies. Many accrediting organizations are aligned with specific industries. The accreditation standards are generally based on recognized educational foundations but also focus on specific learning outcomes embedded in the curriculum relevant to the particular industry’s interests. The goal of the accreditation organization is to evaluate the institution and its programs using several different criteria and to verify that the recognized standards are being met, and in doing so, promote a standard of quality. Many collegiate aviation programs are accredited not only by their university-level regional accrediting board but also by the AABI. AABI was founded in 1988 with 14 charter members. The mission of AABI is to promote excellence and self-improvement among collegiate aviation programs and, by doing so, increase the credibility, integrity, and acceptance of these programs within the academic community and the aviation industry. AABI accredits all levels of collegiate aviation programs, from associate degrees to doctorates. The types of collegiate aviation programs that are eligible for accreditation include the following: • Aviation Management • Flight Education • Aviation Maintenance • Safety Science • Aviation Electronics/Avionics • Air Traffic Control • Aviation Studies • Unmanned Aircraft Systems Understanding Accreditation

Understanding Accreditation 111 To date, there are 94 accredited aviation programs hosted by 34 colleges and universities throughout the United States, including 4 associate degrees, 84 baccalaureate degrees, 3 master’s degrees, and 1 doctoral degree. From these, there are 29 accredited aviation management degree programs. AABI promotes specific aviation-related educational outcomes that must be demonstrated by the program graduate’s ability to 1. Describe the professional attributes; requirements or certifications; and planning applicable to aviation careers. 2. Describe the principles of aircraft design; performance and operating characteristics; and the regulations related to the maintenance of aircraft and associated systems. 3. Evaluate aviation safety and the impact of human factors on safety. 4. Discuss the impact on aviation operations of international aviation law, including appli- cable ICAO or other international standards and practices; and applicable national aviation law, regulations, and labor issues. 5. Explain the integration of airports, airspace, and air traffic control in managing the National Airspace System. 6. Discuss the impact of meteorology and environmental issues on aviation operations. The ten major components evaluated by AABI for accrediting a degree program include the following: 1. Students—student goals consistent with the mission and educational goals of the program and institution. 2. Program Mission and Educational Goals—mission statement and goals that reflect the pro- gram’s educational philosophy, purpose, and general intent. 3. Student Learning Outcomes (General/Aviation Core)—process to ensure student’s ability to demonstrate competency in meeting general and aviation-specific outcomes. 4. Curriculum—courses available to support each learning outcome and prepare graduates for successful aviation careers. 5. Faculty and Staff—adequate number of qualified faculty and staff are available to achieve the learning outcomes. 6. Facilities, Equipment, and Services—adequate resources are available to accomplish the program goals in an appropriate learning environment. 7. Institutional Structure and Support—financial and administrative support to assure the continuity of the program. 8. Aviation Safety Culture and Program—formal policies, procedures, and practices in place that emulate SMS principles to foster a culture of safety. 9. Relations with Industry—established framework for ensuring that the program remains relevant to the aviation industry. Industry Advisory Boards with members representing a diverse mix of various segments of aviation are common. 10. Continuous Assessment and Improvement—formal mechanism to assess the effectiveness of each program component and measures taken for improvement. To retain their status, AABI-accredited programs are reviewed every 5 years and must be able to provide evidence that the outcomes are being successfully achieved, and there is a process in place to continually assess and improve the program. AABI does not have an accreditation program specifically for airport management but airport- focused curricula are found within other accredited programs, most often in the aviation management or aviation studies degrees. Opportunities may exist to engage in further develop- ment of a standard for airport-oriented education, adding a new accreditation category among AABI’s other aviation academic programs.
