Mission Statement
The School of Aviation, Safety, and Security was established in part as a result of a grant received from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1985 and became the first Airway Science program at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU).
The School offers rigorous programs designed to educate the future administrative and technical managers of the aerospace industry. The curriculum stresses hard science and mathematics, human factors, human resources management, written and oral communications, computer literacy, and aeronautics. In addition, Aviation programs incorporate problem recognition and solving, critical thinking, and decision- making to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Individuals with an Aviation education will have a broad perspective about the aerospace industry, the environments in which it operates, and its impact on global transportation and economics.
The School of Aviation, Safety and Security serves as the focal point of technological education at Florida Memorial University and is guided by an advisory board made up of industry and government professionals. Academic and flight instruction is supported by student-centered simulation and learning centers.
