DEGREES & PROGRAMS /// Aviation continued AVIATION MAINTENANCE ONLINE The demand for degreed aircraft
maintenance specialists in the aviation and aerospace industries has never been greater. Our certificate and degree programs allow students to take advantage of the trend and take their careers to the next level. The Certificate in Aviation Maintenance Technology helps mechanics who have already met their experience requirements prepare for the FAA Airframe & Powerplant Maintenance Certification exams. The Associate of Science in Aviation Maintenance builds on existing mechanical skills and credentials, as well as general education. The Bachelor of Science expands opportunities by allowing students to specialize in one of two maintenance functions: management or safety. B.S. students can also enrich their education and career prospects by engaging in cooperative studies and internships. Noteworthy: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary of an aircraft mechanic is $65,550.
METEOROLOGY FL AZ In the Meteorology program, you will use cutting-edge meteorology labs and interactive meteorological graphics software to understand and forecast atmospheric phenomena and then apply theory to operational weather forecasting and decision making for weather-sensitive industries. In addition to the degree, you may also pursue an Emergency Response Meteorologist Certification or FAA Aircraft Dispatch Certification. In the Meteorology program, you will research a variety of atmospheric challenges ranging in scale from tornadoes to climate change in our fully equipped Weather Center. Both the Daytona Beach and Prescott degree programs meet all American Meteorological Society and government standards for a degree in meteorology. Noteworthy: Our graduates find careers as meteorologists in the government, military or private sectors. The median annual salary for Atmospheric Scientists, like meteorologists, is $94,570, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. PILOT OPERATIONS ONLINE This flexible program is designed to help pilots achieve leadership roles that demand a degree, such as line pilots who want to be promoted to chief pilots or warrant officers in the military who are transitioning to civilian careers. As a fast-track program with a collection of classes that have been handpicked to maximize your outcomes, it is taught by expert faculty members with years of operational experience and deep connections to the complex and rapidly changing aviation and aerospace industries. As a result, many of our graduates are recognized as trailblazers and exceptional leaders and our alumni ranks include airline and aerospace executives, military general officers and astronauts. Noteworthy: Pilots who already hold their multi-engine ATP or are commercial/ instrument rated with any added ratings can transfer up to 45 credits toward this 120-credit degree.
SPACE OPERATIONS FL Embry-Riddle has pioneered this degree, tailored to students eager to join the young and exciting space industry. Building on Embry-Riddle’s legacy in flight operations, this unique major is focused on the complex policy, business, safety, training, human factors and mission planning elements of space operations. Program graduates will be prepared to meet the workforce needs of the rapidly expanding space industry, including civilian, military, commercial and private industries. The program will explore uncrewed launch and satellite systems, as well as human spaceflight habitats and delivery systems. The campus proximity to the Space Coast offers a host of relevant internship and career opportunities. Noteworthy: Two Embry-Riddle research payloads traveled to suborbital space during a recent test of Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. UNCREWED AND AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS ONLINE Once the domain of military and government agencies, unmanned systems have entered the civilian and commercial sectors and are transforming the world as we know it. To meet the demands of this burgeoning field, Embry-Riddle has become a pioneer in unmanned and robotics education. Ours is one of the first degree programs to prepare graduates for the anticipated growth, innovative development and effective use of unmanned systems technology across all domains: air, space, ground and maritime. As a student, you’ll customize your degree to fit your desired career path by selecting from three learning tracks: Administration , Operations or Development . Noteworthy: According to a study by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, more than 100,000 unmanned aerial systems jobs are projected by 2025.
UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS FL AZ
AVIATION MAINTENANCE SCIENCE FL
The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) industry is fast becoming an integral part of aviation’s future. This degree provides the expertise necessary for students entering this emerging field as remote pilots, field service representatives, mapping technicians and UAS operations administrators. Graduates are well versed in the regulations and procedures required to operate unmanned aircraft in U.S. or international airspace. Curriculum offers in-field flight experience and state-of- the-art simulation, allowing students to operate unmanned aircraft in both virtual and actual environments, fly Unmanned Aircraft Systems missions as part of a crew, cultivate an appreciation for industry standard safety protocols and develop a strong foundation of aviation fundamentals. On the Arizona campus, students can select a Flight Minor , the Technical Operations Track or the Applications Track to advance through this growing program. All students can benefit from the increasing UAS internship and career opportunities with industry leaders such as L3, Textron, Northrop Grumman and Phoenix Air Unmanned. By focusing on the long-term skill set that will allow them to excel using larger platforms in this rapidly changing industry, students will gain the knowledge they need to succeed as UAS are increasingly integrated into the National Airspace System. Noteworthy: Embry-Riddle’s UAS program was one of the first in the nation and remains one of the largest.
Our country’s complex commercial, private and military air travel system would cease to function without the work of professional aviation maintenance experts, and there is great demand for degreed aircraft maintenance technicians who can service, troubleshoot and repair aircraft. The 2023 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook projects a global need for 690,000 aviation technicians over the next 20 years. The degree is made up of general education courses, technical courses and labs, which lead to the FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) technician certification. You can select one of three areas of concentration: Maintenance Management, if you want to use your maintenance skills as a platform for advancing into a management position; Safety Science, which allows you to focus on aviation or occupational safety; and Avionics Cybertechnology and Security, which addresses the importance of aerospace connectivity and data security. Noteworthy: Our skilled AMS graduates have obtained employment at notable employers such as The Boeing Company, the FAA, Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, Sikorsky Aircraft, SpaceX and UPS. An experienced A&P certified technician working for a major airline can top out at $100,000-plus annually.
