The air traffic management program provides a technical foundation in the air traffic control procedures used by air traffic controllers in air traffic control towers and air traffic control radar facilities. Students gain a strong background in aircraft operations, management skills and business principles through coursework specific to air traffic control and aviation. As a part of the degree program, students are required to take courses that will qualify them to earn their airline dispatcher certificate.
This is an intensive program of classroom study and laboratory practice using state-of-the-art air traffic control simulators to enhance and reinforce classroom study. Students develop the following skills:
- analytical thinking
- clear and concise communication
- problem-solving
- teamwork

Additional requirements:
To be considered for employment by the Federal Aviation Administration, graduates of the program need to be aware of minimum requirements for employment. See https://www.faa.gov/jobs/career_fields/aviation_careers/ for more information. Graduates of the program are not guaranteed employment by the Federal Aviation Administration. Students who do not have U.S. citizenship may be admitted to the program but will not be eligible for employment by the Federal Aviation Administration.
ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU® to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.
ASU has transfer partnerships in Arizona and across the country to create a simplified transfer experience for students. These pathway programs include exclusive benefits, tools and resources, and they help students save time and money in their college journey.
With over 250 programs in more than 65 countries (ranging from one week to one year), study abroad is possible for all ASU students wishing to gain global skills and knowledge in preparation for a 21st-century career. Students earn ASU credit for completed courses, while staying on track for graduation, and may apply financial aid and scholarships toward program costs. https://mystudyabroad.asu.edu/
The Federal Aviation Administration's 2015 Controller Workforce Plan has projected that the agency plans to hire more than 6,300 new controllers over the next five years to keep pace with the expected attrition rate and traffic growth. The total number of planned hires for the period of 2015--2024 is 10,241 new controllers. Increases in the volume of air traffic will require more controllers to handle the additional work. New computerized systems will assist controllers by automatically making many of the routine decisions. This will allow controllers to handle more traffic, thus increasing their productivity.
To prepare for this challenge, students receive training in the methodologies and technologies that are currently being developed for the next generation of air traffic control systems. Despite the obvious demand for new controllers in the immediate future, competition to get into the FAA-approved training programs is expected to remain intense as there generally are many more applicants than there are openings. Graduates who have met all the FAA requirements will be eligible for consideration for employment.

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
