Aviation Maintenance Management

To work on aircraft, you must be a licensed FAA mechanic (also known as an Aviation Maintenance Technician, or AMT). There are two license ratings: Powerplant and Airframe. The Powerplant rating enables you to work on aircraft engines, while the Airframe rating allows you to work on everything else: the body of the airplane, including wings, wheels, brakes, etc. Most jobs will require that you have both ratings. 

Lewis University’s Aviation Maintenance Management program offers you comprehensive, flexible training for the professional world. You will acquire the skills and technical training needed to become a certified AMT. You will also acquire valuable business education with economics, management and liberal arts courses. You will leave Lewis with a strong background for leadership careers in aviation and many other industries.
