Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) is a private, coeducational university with a history dating from the early days of aviation. Students are enrolled in one of two residential campuses located in Daytona Beach, Florida and Prescott, Arizona or in Embry-Riddle Worldwide, composed of over 130 non-residential campuses and online programs. The residential campuses provide education in a traditional setting while Embry-Riddle Worldwide serves civilian and military working adults.
Embry-Riddle began in 1925 as the Embry-Riddle Company, an aircraft dealer and airmail provider, founded by Talton Higbee Embry and John Paul Riddle in Cincinnati, Ohio. Embry-Riddle was eventually incorporated into what is now American Airlines, before reforming during the buildup to World War II in Miami, Florida as the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation, and later, the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Institute. Embry-Riddle moved to Daytona Beach, Florida in 1965 and was renamed Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 1970. The Prescott, Arizona campus opened in 1978.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is the only accredited, aviation-oriented university in the world. Utilizing a fleet of over 90 aircraft, the university serves culturally diverse students primarily motivated toward careers in aviation and aerospace. The university offers bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees and a recently announced PhD in Aviation at the residential campuses and through Embry-Riddle Worldwide. Bachelor’s degrees, associate’s degrees and non-degree programs are also offered by Embry-Riddle Worldwide.
The Master of Science in Aeronautics is a broad-based, flexible degree that provides the aviation professional with a rigorous individualized curriculum based on the “man-machine-system-solution” concept. This background endows the graduate with the knowledge and skills necessary to advance in the aviation/aerospace industry. The degree allows in-career flight crew members, air traffic control personnel, flight operations specialists, industry technical representatives, aviation educators, and other aviation/aerospace professionals to enhance their knowledge and careers.
Students enjoy up-close learning from instructors with real-world experience, small class sizes, and an unparalleled opportunity to build long-lasting relationships with faculty and work with leaders in the industry.
The Embry-Riddle Prescott Campus offers a selection of majors and minors focused on aviation, aerospace, engineering, business administration, applied meteorology, global security and intelligence, and safety to name a few. Prescott also offers the only Master of Science in Safety Science in the U.S., which delivers a nearly 100% job placement rate after graduation.
