About Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University of today is the product of a long and prestigious history.

In 1925, pilot John Paul Riddle met entrepreneur T. Higbee Embry, and together, they formed the Embry-Riddle Company to teach the adventurous to fly. This partnership was the beginning of a vision that has produced more than 140,000 alumni who drive innovation and keep the aerospace and related industries running safely and productively.

By 1951, the school was named Embry-Riddle International School of Aviation, and it was living up to the moniker, as its reputation was expanding globally as students from Europe, the Middle East, South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Asia returned to their respective countries to extol their Embry-Riddle education and launch their aviation careers.

The Embry-Riddle International School of Aviation was awarded accreditation in 1968, and university status was also granted. In 1970, the name changed to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University – which is now recognized worldwide as the unrivaled pinnacle in aviation and aerospace education.

Today, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University enrolls over 34,000 students annually and offers more than 100 associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs.

What opportunities examined today will become the next chapters in the Embry-Riddle story and history of aviation?

Radical designs for unmanned aerial vehicles occupy the list with other exciting developments in hybrid aircraft, exotic propulsion systems, safety innovations, clean air technologies, the NextGen Air Transportation System, advancements in the business of aviation, and countless projects that exist in the imaginations of tomorrow’s students. When yet-to-be-imagined challenges arise, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will reach into its history and draw upon its place in the industry to provide leadership, facilities, and creative thought to achieve the extraordinary.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s 185-acre eastern campus is located in Daytona Beach, Florida. With year-round mild temperatures and more than 230-plus days of sunshine a year, it’s a top vacation destination and an ideal place to live, study, and learn to fly.

Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical. Eligibility is checked for each program — see the program page.
