Be buggered that Wikipedia is not considered academic enough!
It's very academic. The way you use it is to find out what the wiki editor used as their sources and then go read (and cite) them.
Aviation courses (and I've done one) are basically the same as standard management courses. If you already work in aviation and want to learn about economics, project management, business studies et al, aviation based examples are naturally more interesting.
At the end of the day, IME a degree is a degree is a degree. Unless you're looking at an academic career or a profession, it doesn't matter too much what it's actually in or what marks you get as long as they give you a fancy piece of paper. Good luck either way!
