AERONAUTICS FL AZ ONLINE The Aeronautics degree is designed specifically for students who work, have worked or want to transition to an aviation- related career. For students with existing aviation-related knowledge and skills, this degree acknowledges a student’s experience through the award of advanced standing prior-learning credit. The curriculum then builds on those skills and knowledge. The program also provides an opportunity for those students new to aviation to acquire aviation-specific knowledge. This combination of your aviation learning and courses in business, computer science, economics, humanities, communications, social sciences, mathematics and physical sciences, along with professional development elective courses and a minor course of study, will prepare you for a career in an aviation-related field. An Associate of Science in Aeronautics is also available at Embry-Riddle’s Worldwide Campus. Noteworthy: This flexible degree is ideal if you want a tailored academic experience or if you are still trying to decide between more focused degree programs.
