Aeronautical Science

Aeronautical Science, the professional pilot program at Embry-Riddle, offers the most advanced flight training curriculum of any university in the world. Combining in-flight training with rigorous academic study, Embry-Riddle's aeronautical science degree program, which features extensive work in the most sophisticated planes and simulators anywhere, prepares the graduate for a career as an airline, military, or corporate pilot. Even if you are considering a career as an astronaut, Aeronautical Science at Embry-Riddle is the best place to start.

Aeronautics

The Aeronautics Degree was conceived and developed specifically for people who work or have worked in aviation careers. The curriculum was designed to build upon the aviation knowledge and skill students bring with them from their training and experience. The combination of a student's aviation learning, the required and elective courses in Aeronautical Science, Business, Computer Science, Economics, Communication, Humanities, Social Science, Mathematics, Physical Science, along with professional development prepare graduates for career growth and increased responsibility.

Aerospace Engineering

The Aerospace Engineering program at Embry-Riddle is the largest in the United States and is recognized as the nation's premier program by U.S. News and World Report. The curriculum provides you with specific aerospace design skills and a broad exposure to theory, modern analysis, measurement, and communications and computational techniques essential to the profession. The ABET accredited curriculum focuses on vehicle design for air, space, land, or water. Before graduating from the program, you will be able to combine scientific theory with practical application and be capable of applying economic analysis to the completion of a vehicle design project. Embry-Riddle is the first university in the nation to have students work with a revolutionary stereolithography laser-modeling process. Within hours, students can create 3-D composite plastic models using CAD (computer-aided design) instructions. This enables them to mold their prototype, test it, and fly it in our wind and smoke tunnels.

Accelerated Program Aerospace Engineering

The Aerospace Engineering program at Embry-Riddle is the largest in the United States and is recognized as the nation's premier program by U.S. News and World Report. Now we have added a five-year program in which students earn both Bachelor of Science (BS) and Master of Aeorspace Engineering (MAE) degrees. The graduate curriculum offers these areas of concentration: structures; aerodynamics and propulsion; and astronautics and control.

Aerospace Studies

The Aerospace Studies provides the raw materials to design your future as an innovator and a leader. Start with core courses in the humanities, geography, international studies, philosophy, ethics, and psychology. Then select and combine three minors from the classes offered in our other degree programs. Choices include air traffic control, business administration, aviation safety, weather, computer applications, computer-integrated manufacturing, computer science, environmental studies, flight, human factors, humanities, logistics, mathematics, communications, psychology, secondary education, and space studies.

Air Traffic Management

System changes that will introduce new methods for managing the world's aviation arteries are in the research phase. As a student in this program you will find yourself on the cutting edge of these new developments while being trained in state-of-the-art facilities. You will study with faculty who have actual ATM experience. As a graduate, you will enjoy an advantage, having emerged from one of only a handful of training schools under the FAA Collegiate Training Initiative. And, you'll be surprised by the earning potential in this field.

Applied Meteorology

Working toward a degree in this area, you will study and simulate atmospheric and climatological conditions for the purpose of predicting and interpreting weather. Graduates will be qualified for jobs in aviation and aerospace, radio and television, and business and government operations.

Business Administration

The general education block of courses within the Business Administration program is designed to give graduates a well-rounded background essential to their success in the business world. You may major in Management or Air Transportation.

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering students study the design and fabrication of transportation components, and learn how to integrate those components in and around airports and future spaceports. As a student, in addition to airport design, you will learn to manage problems relating to merging points of air and land transportation systems. Though the primary focus is on aviation related projects, graduates emerge from this program with the background to succeed in any area of civil engineering.

Communication

With a curriculum tailored toward the aviation/aerospace industry, the communication program at ERAU is unique. Not only will you learn the editing, design, and linguistic skills common to all communication professionals, you will also master specific genres such as feature writing and crisis communication. Our graduates are poised to assume roles in the areas of public relations, reporting and information management, with skills specially suited to the dynamic field of aviation and aerospace.

Computer Engineering

Computer engineers are in high demand the world over. The program at Embry-Riddle is a unique application of Embry-Riddle's traditional strengths in computer science and engineering and the emerging field of distance education. Students acquire a broad background in computing machinery, concentrating on programming languages, circuit theory, embedded control systems, real-time systems and software engineering. A bachelor's degree in computer engineering prepares the student for life and work in the 21st century through the curriculum's emphasis on information technologies.

Computer Science/Master of Software Engineering 5yr

If you want to be part of the excitement of the information age and are interested in a career in Software Engineering, our five-year master's degree in software engineering gives you the opportunity to achieve your bachelor'sand master's degrees within one curriculum. This innovative approach makes the Embry-Riddle Five-Year MSE Program the ideal place for you to launch your future.

Electrical Engineering

Embry-Riddle will prepare you for a career in electrical engineering by providing you with a broad background in circuit theory, communication systems, computers, control systems, electromagnetic fields, energy sources, and systems, materials, and electronic devices. With an emphasis on design, the culmination of the program is a senior year capstone project that teams electrical engineering students with students from the aerospace and software engineering programs to build an aerospace system or subsystem.

Engineering Physics

Spacecraft engineering and space physics constitute the theme of this engineering program and are the focus in junior- and senior-level courses and the capstone space systems design project. Opportunities exist for students to actively participate in the department's research activities in space systems engineering and space science. Because of the strong emphasis on fundamentals, the EP program provides an excellent stepping stone into the space program. Most of our graduates pursue careers in space-related professions as space systems engineers or space scientists.

Homeland Security

Students in the Bachelor of Science in Homeland Security program will be well-prepared for a career in homeland security through a rich integration of state-of-the-art coursework, guest lectures, field trips, and experiential learning.
