Default Graduate Programs

I've always had the desire to go to graduate school churning deep in my mind but serving on active duty in the army made it difficult to put thought into reality.

Now there is a fantastic new GI Bill and I'm really considering going back to school full time once I leave the Army.

I could go for some generic business degree but I am more interested in a program centered around aviation management or operations. I've checked UND and ERAU, both have programs. Purdue and Auburn don't seem to have a graduate program. What other universities offer business programs with a focus on the aviation industry or aviation centric graduate programs?

The "New GI Bill" only pays up to the highest in state public university tuition, so ERAU is likely too expensive.

That's a good question. I don't know where ERAU stands as a "PUBLIC institution of higher learning" but the statement below is cut from the site. If I had to guess I think UND and ERAU programs will be covered.

Post 9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program - (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs)
The Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay up to the most expensive in-state tuition and fees at a public institution of higher learning in the veteran's state, but you can still attend any approved school. In instances where the benefit level does not cover the cost of established charges, VA and the educational institution may enter into an agreement to cover the unmet expenses under the "Yellow Ribbon Program."

Purdue has an aviation graduate program if you want to give them a look. I can PM you some names and emails of people to contact if you would like. I honestly don't know much about it, but I know who does!

I just found the program at Purdue under the College of Technology, but if you've got any info I'd be greatful.

I did see that Oklahoma State has an aviation graduate program with many courses similar to ERAU. I haven't come across anyone that has studied aviation there though.

I'm really at the beginning of my serious search so any information I can get would be quite useful.
