Introduction

Air Traffic Controllers provide separation services to aircraft operating in the National Airspace System to expedite and maintain a safe and orderly flow of air traffic. Because controllers have an enormous responsibility to protect the lives and property of U.S. citizens, the air traffic control profession is often regarded as one of the most stressful jobs in the world. Potential students should be focused, able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, and have good math and logic skills. Candidates must also have school or work records that illustrate good conduct, personal responsibility, professionalism, and effective communication skills.

Hampton University offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Aviation Management: Air Traffic Control. Hampton is the only HBCU to be an approved FAA AT-Collegiate Training Initiative program. Majors learn Air Traffic Control (ATC) principles and procedures in simulated tower and radar environments. In addition, graduates who earn a B.S. degree in Aviation Management position themselves for management positions within the FAA.

Air Traffic Control Mission Statement & Program Goals

The mission of the Aviation Management: Air Traffic Control degree program is to prepare students for employment as Air Traffic Control Specialists and similar careers fields that will benefit aviation and the transportation industry as a whole. This program is an approved Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic-Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) program. In addition, the program will stimulate program excellence and self-improvement, maintain uniform educational quality with industry standards, and increase the credibility, integrity, and acceptance of collegiate aviation programs among industry, government, and the public at large. Students will demonstrate leadership capabilities and high moral values. The Hampton University Aviation program is and will remain accredited by the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI).

Preparing for the ATSA

To be considered for an air traffic control position with the Federal Aviation Administration, all applicants must take and pass the Air Traffic Skills Assessment, often referred to as the ATSA. This test is the first major screening to enter the profession of air traffic control.

The Air Traffic Control program incorporates the Air Traffic Skills Assessment (ATSA) Test Prep from JobTestPrep to provide students with a discounted rate through the department and prepare students for what they will see when taking the ATSA test.
