Study Abroad Programs
International Exchange Programs
Program Overview
As the U.S. economy becomes more and more international, the need increases for well-trained engineers, scientists, and business executives to cooperate with their overseas counterparts. Through the exchange program offered, Embry-Riddle students have the opportunity to develop their foreign language abilities, cross-cultural skills, and international experience to meet this demand. By working through such organizations as the Global Engineering Education Exchange, Embry-Riddle continues to search for the best schools around the world with which to set up exchange programs. Certain programs of study allow students to work toward additional certificates and diplomas.
