What Students Say

"Possessing an aviation related degree has played a major role in providing the necessary edge when competing against peers for the top jobs. The Professional Aeronautics degree covers a broad spectrum of aviation related topics, and helped prepare me for the oral and written challenges that are prevalent in the commercial aviation field. To date, the management courses have proved invaluable. The material covered provided insight as to how managers make certain key decisions, and has also helped me serve them better in a subordinate/peer role".

"As a national leader in aeronautical education, Embry-Riddle Worldwide offered the variety and flexibility I desired in a Masters program. The ability to use both classroom and online distance classes allowed me to easily tailor my education plan around my hectic work schedule. The professors were top notch and understanding of the conflicts that sometimes arose between coursework and professional demands. Their accommodation and availability made the entire program extremely enjoyable and worthwhile".

"All of the instructors at Embry-Riddle are first class and are system matter experts in their fields of study as far as I am concerned. I have not received anything but good, sound advice from any of my instructors as far as an aviation career and course success is concerned. The advantage to attending Embry-Riddle is the fact that many of the instructors have been in the Aviation industry and know what you will face once you are in the industry. As a result, you will receive first hand knowledge of the kind of experience you will need to succeed. And as we all know, knowledge and experience are king in any job you pursue".
