The competitive program drives students to apply for premier developmental programs like Department of Defense internships, while the proximity to an international airport offers cadets exposure to multiple aircraft types.

phenomenal talent,” Dayton continued. “The combination of the elite STEM degrees offered at Embry-Riddle, coupled with the passion and easy access to aviation, has created a tremendous opportunity for cadets.”
