Welcome from the Executive Vice President!
Marty Smith
Firmly rooted in tradition from the early days of aviation and aerospace and poised for an exciting and significant future, Embry-Riddle Worldwide has a history and heritage of accomplishment and success. Our emphasis is on adults continuing their education while balancing the demands of careers and/or military service with their educational pursuits. They may be completing first or second undergraduate degrees, pursuing graduate education, or undertaking advanced training in their current fields. Some are recent high school graduates who seek an alternative to the residential campus experience.
After unveiling the new name and brand identifier for Embry-Riddle Worldwide in August 2006, I promised you that the Worldwide Campus would be the growth engine of the university—helping the residential and Worldwide campuses grow their programs and research, while contributing fiscal resources to keep tuition in line for all Embry-Riddle students—and grow it has!
Since then, our energy and vision have been a catalyst for substantial development and growth of the Worldwide Campus. We are pursuing an aggressive global expansion strategy to expand on our more than 130 existing locations worldwide. We continue to work together with the two residential campuses to develop degree offerings specifically addressing the needs of industry.
Under the direction of our headquarters and regional Worldwide leadership teams, we are embracing three basic principles that guide everything we do:
- Provide an exemplary teaching and learning experience
- Excel in service to students and prospective students at every opportunity
- Invest in our employees and hire the best qualified candidates
Whatever goals you have planned for your education and career, we welcome you to share in the great Embry-Riddle family and tradition. Be part of our global future. We will be here for you to ensure you have the finest academic curriculum, outstanding student service, superior technology, and administrative support to accomplish your goals, be successful, and be a global leader.
