Applied Aviation Sciences Degree Programs

Bachelor of Science in Air Traffic Management

The Applied Aviation Sciences Department offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Air Traffic Management. These academic courses are designed to provide exposure to procedures and operations consistent with those found in Federal Aviation Administration air traffic facilities. The upper ATM courses are highly technical and provide the foundation for the capstone air traffic courses that are designed for consistency with current FAA and industry requirements.

Bachelor of Science in Applied Meteorology

The Applied Aviation Sciences Department offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Meteorology. The program aims to produce graduates with the necessary knowledge, analytical skills, and operational expertise to add value to any decision impacted by the weather. Students who pursue the Applied Meteorology degree have the option of selecting one of four areas of concentration (AOC). Generally, you will select an AOC by the end of your fourth semester.

Flight Weather Area of Concentration

The Flight Weather AOC offers courses geared toward careers involved with providing weather services to the aviation/aerospace industry.

Commercial Weather Area of Concentration

Students who select this option will learn how businesses are run and how weather impacts operations.By selecting appropriate courses, students can complete a Minor in Business Administration.

Media Weather Area of Concentration

Students interested in journalism, radio, and television will combine meteorology with studies in verbal and written communications.Internships may be conducted with newspapers, radio stations, or network/cable television channels.

Research Area of Concentration

Students may prepare for graduate studies by completing this concentration.They will also qualify for federal and military professional meteorology positions.

Bachelor of Science in Homeland Security

Through the combination of the core and specialized courses in domestic and maritime security, aviation security, physical and occupational security, emergency preparedness, law enforcement, and risk analysis, the BS in Homeland Security at Embry-Riddle is designed to offer students a thorough understanding of the complex nature of the homeland security profession.
In addition, students will see and experience many of the important contributions made by today's homeland security specialists.

Students in the 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. In addition, the program provides students with practical skills as well as research and volunteer opportunities in homeland security.

Bachelor of Science in Safety Science

The Applied Aviation Sciences Department offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Safety Science. The degree is based upon the needs of the market place. It combines a solid core designed to meet the Council On Aviation Accreditation (CAA) standards and the University's General Education requirements with a complete offering of Safety Science courses, including those appropriate to the aerospace industry as well as many non-aerospace industries.

The Safety Science degree is designed for students interested in obtaining a strong safety foundation. The goal of the degree is to produce graduates who are skilled in providing safety expertise in aviation, aerospace, and a variety of other industrial settings. This program will produce safety professionals who are skilled in providing safety management expertise, and who can provide technical guidance in compliance issues involving EPA, OSHA, DOD, DOT, DOE, and state health, hygiene, and workplace standards.

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Electronics

ThThe Aerospace Electronics Degree is designed to provide the knowledge required to excel in the field of aerospace electronics in support of aircraft, electronics systems, and space vehicles. General education requirements include mathematics, science, communications, and other applicable subjects. This approach to education enables the graduate to apply techniques of critical thinking and problem solving to a logical result in challenging situations. The degree provides the requisite knowledge to enter the fields of maintainability, reliability, field service, system test and evaluation, aerospace electronic systems integration and design, and integrated logistics support.

Master of Science in Aeronautics

The Master of Science in Aeronautics degree (formerly called MAS or Master of Aeronautical Science degree) is designed to provide the aviation/aerospace professional with a rigorous academic approach to a generalistic-oriented degree. It provides an opportunity for flight crew members, air traffic control personnel, flight operations specialists, industry management and technical representatives, and aviation educators to enhance their knowledge and pursue additional career opportunities. Entry into the MSA program requires possession of an undergraduate foundation in college-level mathematics, introduction to computers, economics, behavioral science, and aviation legislation. Flight qualifications are not required for this degree.
