Aviation Policy Seminar

Aviation policies are primarily established in Washington, D.C. through the enactment of legislation and the DOT/FAA's rulemaking authority. This course analyzes the process by which that policy is established and how various organizations and individuals can affect the final legislation or rule. The first part of the course involves classroom and research activity on a selected aviation policy issue. The second portion of the course is a seminar, held the first week in January in Washington, D.C. during which the students interact with the policy makers to gain a greater understanding of the policy making process. There are travel, hotel, and meal expenses associated with participation in the seminar.
