Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) is a private university focused on aviation and aerospace programs. Founded at Lunken Field in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1926, its main campuses are located in Daytona Beach, Florida, and Prescott, Arizona. It is the largest accredited university system specializing in aviation and aerospace.[7] It has numerous online programs and academic programs offered at satellite locations.
It began as a regional school for pilots and aircraft mechanics. With the expansion and development of aviation and related space programs, the university enrolls almost 31,000[8] undergraduate and graduate students.[9]
History
On December 17, 1925, Talton Higbee Embry and John Paul Riddle founded the Embry–Riddle Company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio. In spring 1926, the company opened the Embry–Riddle School of Aviation.[9] Following a merge with the Aviation Corporation (AVCO), the Embry–Riddle flying school was closed in 1930.[10]
The Fritz Hotel in Miami. Embry–Riddle occupied the building prior to moving to Daytona Beach, Florida.
In 1939, Riddle, John Graham McKay and wife Isabel re-established the school in Miami. Keeping the name, they partnered with the University of Miami to provide flight training under the Civilian Pilot Training Program, and rapidly increase the number of qualified pilots immediately preceding World War II. Alumni of this school included John F. Kennedy, who served in the US Navy in the war, and was elected in 1960 as President of the United States.[11] Following rapid expansion, the school took over the former Fritz Hotel.[12]
Preempting the announced closure of Tamiami Airport, where the Embry–Riddle Aeronautical Institute was conducting its flight operations, the school was moved to Daytona Beach, Florida in April 1965. Embry–Riddle became a nonprofit in 1959.[13]
Having expanded its programs of study, it was awarded university status in 1968. It took the name Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University in 1970. Embry–Riddle started its international program the same year. In 1978 it opened a second residential campus in Prescott, Arizona.[10]
Academics
The non-profit[14] university is accredited as a level VI institution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award degrees at the associate, bachelor, master's, and doctoral levels.[15] The university's programs in aviation maintenance, air traffic management, applied meteorology, aeronautical science, aerospace and occupational safety, flight operations, and airport management are accredited by the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI).[16]
The bachelor and master's programs in business are accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).[17] All engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET)[18]
The programs in aeronautics, air traffic management, applied meteorology, and aerospace studies are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).[19] In July 2014, the university became the nation's first FAA-approved training provider for student airline certification.[20]
Professional programs
ERAU hosts a variety of aviation-focused short-courses. These courses – ranging in topic from Unmanned Aircraft Systems to Aircraft Accident Investigation and Management – are tailored for professionals involved in the operations, management, and supervision of aviation organizations.[21] The "Worldwide campus" offers courses either online, via video, or face-to-face globally.[22]
The Embry–Riddle Prescott Campus is home to the Robertson Safety Institute (RSI); this is a center for research, development, short courses, and corporate outreach in safety education. The campus has resources including the Robertson Crash Lab, Aviation Safety and Security Archives and immediate access to advanced engineering, scientific, and forensic resources.[23]

Embry–Riddle's oldest residential campus (185-acre [0.75 km2]) and academic headquarters has been in Daytona Beach, Florida since 1965. Built adjacent to the Daytona Beach International Airport, the campus is connected to an aircraft ramp owned by the university for flight training. The main campus consists of an aviation complex, academic quad and residence halls surrounding the student center and Jack R. Hunt Aviator Park. The campus has seven residence halls and one off-campus housing complex.[24] Athletic facilities, the Brigadier General William W. Spruance ROTC Center, and the ICI Center are on the east side of campus.
This university's eastern campus serves 6,740 undergraduates and 781 graduate students from nearly 100 countries.[25][26] All first-year students live on campus with sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Fifty-two majors are offered at this location for 2020–21.[27] The engineering physics program at the Daytona Beach campus is among the largest undergraduate engineering physics program in the country and the only one specializing in aerospace.[28]
Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University’s campus in Prescott, Arizona opened in 1978. The campus is 100 miles (160 km) north of Phoenix. The high-desert climate offers nearly 300 days of sunshine a year. The campus has an enrollment of about 2,000 students and covers 539 acres (218 ha) of western terrain.[34]
The flight training center is at nearby Ernest A. Love Field. Facilities at the Prescott Campus include the Aerospace Experimentation and Fabrication Building, a wind tunnel lab with one supersonic and four subsonic wind tunnels, the aviation safety center with an accident investigation lab, library, the 48,000 sq ft (4,500 m2) academic complex, the engineering and technology center, chapel, dining hall, student union and residence halls. The Prescott Campus features four academic colleges and offers 19 bachelor's degrees and two master's degrees, as well as educational programs for youths, students, and working professionals.[35]
The Prescott campus offers the only Global Security and Intelligence Studies program in the US.
The First Year Experience program is designed to help students transition to college on academic, social, and educational levels. Students in FYE housing are grouped together by major, when possible, and reside with a staff that is specially trained to handle first-year transitional issues. All first-year students who have graduated high school within 12 months of matriculation are required to live in University housing for their first full academic year. Exceptions are made for students who are over 21 years old, are married or have a dependent, have a permanent address in Yavapai County at time of application to ERAU, or students who have lived on-campus at another institution of higher education for at least two semesters.[36] FYE students reside in the Mingus Mountain Complex or the Thumb Butte Complex and are required to participate in the Dining Services meal program.[37]
Embry–Riddle's two Air Force ROTC detachments form the largest university-based Air Force commissioning source in the nation. Embry–Riddle's AFROTC detachments also produce more commissioned officers, more pilots and other rated officers for the Air Force than any other institution in the nation except the Air Force Academy. Army ROTC also operates a large detachment on the Prescott Campus.[38]
The Prescott campus is home to the Golden Eagles Flight Team, which competes in the National Intercollegiate Flying Association. Prescott's Golden Eagles Flight Team has won the regional championship each year for the past 31 years, and the team is also thirteen-time National Champions winning in 1993, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2022.[39]
