About Embry- Riddle

The Best Aviation and Aerospace University in the World

At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, what we do — and do best — is teach the science, practice, and business of the world of aviation and aerospace.

Since it was founded just 22 years after the Wright brothers’ first flight, the University and its graduates have built an enviable record of achievement in every aspect of aviation and aerospace.

The curriculum at Embry-Riddle covers the operation, engineering, research, manufacturing, marketing, and management of modern aircraft and the systems that support them. The University engages in extensive research, consulting, and related activities that address the unique needs of aviation, aerospace, and related industries.

Residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Florida, and Prescott, Arizona, provide education in a traditional setting, while the Worldwide Campus provides instruction through more than 130 centers in the United States, Europe, Canada, and the Middle East and through online learning.

The Daytona Beach campus is located next to the Daytona Beach International Airport. High-technology industries in the Daytona Beach and Orlando areas, as well as the Kennedy Space Center, provide the University with an outstanding support base. The 185-acre campus serves more than 4,900 undergraduate and graduate students.

The campus offers state-of-the-art facilities, including the College of Aviation building, which has air traffic control simulation and research labs and a weather center; the Advanced Flight Simulation Center; the Lehman Engineering and Technology Center; and a new academic hall that houses the College of Business.
