College of Business Degree Programs
Working Together Thanks in part to a new partnership with Skytra, an Airbus subsidiary, the Worldwide College of Business is building a reputation in the key area of financial risk management while allowing students to learn skills that will be in constant demand across a range of global industries. “Financial risk management is a unique, STEM-based discipline that is crucial not only for the aviation industry, but for nearly any field, which will give students a skill that is transferable,” said Dr. Maneesh Sharma, Dean of the Worldwide College of Business. As Skytra’s preferred academic partner, Embry-Riddle has conducted research in areas that hold the potential to transform the travel industry. One such study by Embry-Riddle professors Dr. Maneesh Sharma, Dr. Sunder Raghavan, Dr. Alfonso Canella and Dr. Ron Mau found that one of Skytra’s tools, the Trans-Atlantic (TA) index, offered revenue protection close to 90%, even after the pandemic collapsed yields. This groundbreaking ability to hedge revenue has profound implications for the aviation industry and the entire tourism industry. Industry partnerships like Skytra further advance Embry-Riddle’s longstanding reputation as an innovator and thought leader when it comes to business innovation. “The focus on risk management distinguishes us from other business schools, and also elevates the overall Embry-Riddle brand in business education,” Dr. Sharma said.
In 2021, we continued to see growing demand for skilled professionals and leaders who can manage the efficient and effective use of scarce resources, operate in an atmosphere of heightened global competition and, most notably, respond to the call to preserve our world’s fragile ecosystem amid the pandemic. The College of Business currently offers 16 degree programs designed to introduce students to modern management concepts, leadership principles, communication skills and the tools necessary to thrive in business today.
