History of the Campus

The Orlando Metro Campus was established in February 1997 with the intent to focus on the civilian market for Embry-Riddle Extended Campus programs. The original campus was centrally located on Colonial Drive near Interstate 4 and downtown Orlando. As the enrollments grew over the next few years, the decision was made to move to larger quarters in the East Winter Park area, and the campus relocated in May 2000. The location chosen was at 5478 Lake Howell Road in the Shoppes of Interlachen Shopping Center. In late 2003, the decision was made to open the first Embry-Riddle Metro Campus in Orlando.
