In keeping with the University’s Catholic and Lasallian tradition, the College purposes are: (1) to foster critical thinking, open inquiry, precision in thought and expression; (2) to provide students with the knowledge, attitudes and skills they need for a career and/or advanced study; and (3) to send forth graduates who understand the needs of individuals and society and feel responsible for contributing to the betterment of both.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

M.S. in Aviation and Transportation
and
B.S. in Aviation Security

Every year, airlines, railways, ships, and motor vehicles move millions of people and millions of tons of equipment, products, raw materials, and even your mail. Since September 11, 2001, the nation’s focus has been on aircraft and airports. But we now recognize that all forms of transportation are linked in many ways and share concerns about the threat of terrorism. We have witnessed how a security alert in a major city ripples across the country affecting numerous other municipalities.

Lewis University offers programs in transportation security at both the Master’s and Bachelor’s level. Students in The Master of Science in Aviation and Transportation program can choose either an administrative or security emphasis. The master’s degree is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in related fields and people who have work experience in transportation and want to move into supervisory positions. The Bachelor of Science in Aviation Security combines courses in aviation science and management and criminal justice and is designed to instruct students in security measures, the law, and aircraft and airport operations.
