Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

[EduCativ]

The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University we know today is the product of a long and prestigious history. When barnstormer John Paul Riddle met entrepreneur T. Higbee Embry in 1925 and formed the Embry-Riddle Company to teach the adventurous to fly, it was the beginning of a vision that has produced more than 129,000 alumni who drive innovation and keep the aerospace and related industries running safely and productively.
We hire only the best faculty. At Embry-Riddle, professors share the knowledge they have gained from decades of industry and higher-learning experience to our students to ensure that graduates will be better prepared than the workforce's competition.
While our students strive to make A's in the classroom, our student-athletes put up impressive numbers on the fields and courts as well. The student body also has access to high-quality athletic facilities to ensure they tend to their bodies when they do not expand their minds.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is committed to being a global leader in diversity and inclusion in higher education. We continually strive to recognize, respect and celebrate the differences and cultural identities among individuals as we recruit, support, and embrace our diverse community. We work to provide a safe environment where self-expression is welcome. We strive to create a campus climate free of discrimination, so that networks, partnerships, and cultural competency continue to be fostered through leadership, integrity, care, and respect. We are Embry-Riddle.
Whatever the campus or program you choose, you are sure to meet lifelong friends in classes, dorms, and student organizations. Our graduates go on to work for some of the world's biggest companies, so the relationships you make on campus can continue throughout your career. When you earn your degree from Embry-Riddle, you become part of a network of nearly 120,000 alumni who will support you throughout your working life.
The mission of the Hazy Library and Learning Center is to promote academic success and enrich the learning experience for the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University – Prescott Campus community by providing an information hub of user-centered services, information resources, staff expertise, and innovative facilities to support interactive learning, teaching, and research.
On-campus tours provide prospective students with an opportunity to meet with admissions and financial aid counselors and professors. You can sit in on a class and tour the dorms, student center, and dining facilities. You can even go high above the campus on an observer flight. At the Worldwide Campus, we encourage you to visit the location near you or set up a telephone call with a counselor to explore the benefits of the campus' flexible online and classroom programs.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, dating to 1925, is an independent, non-sectarian, not-for-profit, coeducational university serving more than 31,000 students at residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Florida, and Prescott, Arizona, at more than 125 Worldwide campuses and through online programs. Embry-Riddle leads the world in aviation and aerospace higher education and is rapidly accelerating its research enterprise across areas ranging from unmanned and autonomous systems and robotics to green aviation, cybersecurity, space and atmospheric physics, aviation business management, astronomy and astrophysics, commercial space operations, aerospace materials, and more.
Embry-Riddle has increasingly become a premier science and engineering university, supporting more than 250 research projects, with more than a dozen research centers and institutes. The University has been elected to participate in elite associations such as the Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Southeast Association for Research in Astronomy, and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.
The founders of Embry-Riddle were visionary entrepreneurs with dreams that gave rise to a reality more significant than their imaginations. The Embry-Riddle Company was founded over 90 years ago to promote aviation through the airmail carrier, aircraft sales, teaching the daring to fly, providing thrill rides, performing air shows, even transporting passengers on their scheduled mail routes.
From a desk in a hotel lobby, the company can be credited with operating the first air travel agency, organizing other mail carriers, and selling their passenger space. The Embry-Riddle story runs deep into the roots of aviation's history. Today, it continues to expand its reach across various industries through its degree offerings and innovative research in the study of aerospace and the applied sciences cybersecurity, business, engineering, security, and space.
Leading Embry-Riddle into a new era is P. Barry Butler, Ph.D., the University's sixth president, who joined Embry-Riddle in March 2017. Before his arrival, he was Executive Vice President and Provost at the University of Iowa, responsible for more than 100 academic programs. Earlier positions held at Iowa include Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Associate Dean for Academic Programs. Under his leadership as Dean, University of Iowa's College of Engineering experienced progress in areas that have been identified as priorities Embry-Riddle: record growth in undergraduate enrollment, external research funding, faculty development, programmatic initiatives, facility improvements, and student scholarships. At Embry-Riddle, Dr. Butler plans to build on the University's outstanding global reputation and further promote excellence in science, engineering, and education.
