Aerospace Engineering and Aeronautical Science (professional pilot) are the most popular majors at Embry-Riddle, but if it concerns any aspect of aviation and aerospace, students will find it here. From business to meteorology, and safety to uncrewed aircraft systems, dedicated faculty lead small classes in studies that prepare graduates for in-demand careers. In fact, 95% of grads are employed or pursuing higher education within one year of graduation.
State-of-the-art facilities support studies and research, and include the largest university telescope in the state of Florida. The MicaPLEX Research Center is home to several wind tunnels and business incubator.

"The Union has absolutely affected my student life for the better. Between classes, I go there to do homework, catch up with friends, get some food, or play ping-pong. I love the expansive design of the main lobby with a three-story atrium."
"I joined the Honors Program because I wanted to be the best of the best. This decision started a chain of opportunities, projects, and leadership roles, all of them bigger and better than I could have ever imagined."
"I operated the SARA ground-based telescope remotely through the astrophysics lab on campus. Alone in the lab at two o’clock in the morning, I felt inspired and awed by the work that I was doing."
"For each of the four launches, all the interns met at the top of LC-39A to watch liftoff. It was pretty wild standing on the pad where Apollo 11 launched to watch the completion of a mission that we all played a role in."
