College of Arts & Sciences ASTRONOMY Our Campus Observatory Complex is equipped with a variety of advanced telescopes capable of performing researchquality brightness measurements of stars. Our faculty has connections to major resources like the Hubble Space Telescope and leading research programs at NASA and the National Science Foundation. As a result, opportunities for undergraduate research and student-directed astronomical projects are plentiful. If you complete graduate study, you could be an astronomer at a large research university, a national observatory, or planetarium. Or head right to work in commercial and military satellite operations, as a space- or ground-based observatory technician, secondary school teacher, or science journalist. s
Noteworthy: The overall employment rate for people with astronomy and astrophysics degrees is 99%.
AV I ATI O N B U S I N E S S A D M I N I STR AT I O N Because Embry-Riddle is a world leader in aviation and aerospace education, aviation industry employers seek out our business graduates. They are employed in leading airlines, commercial firms, consultancies, and regulatory bodies, such as Delta, FAA, Federal Express, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Lufthansa, UPS, United Space Alliance, and US Airways. As a student, you work with professors who have deep aviation and business experience. You are encouraged to pursue internships and attend special networking events; you’re also urged to participate in our study abroad program. And you serve as a business consultant for an actual client as part of the senior capstone course. Students select concentrations in management (aviation, airline, international air transport, or general), flight operations, or finance. s
B U S I N E S S A D M I N I STR ATI O N Business Administration graduates are prepared with a strong business foundation and the team-building skills needed to be successful in a management or business-focused career, domestically and abroad. Students focus in one of three concentration areas: Accounting, Finance and/or Management; and are highly recommended to participate in a vast array of internship/co-op experiences and study abroad opportunities in places like France, Belgium, and Singapore. Our students have proven their business prowess by winning the most awards for nine consecutive years at the Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference.
Noteworthy: Business students serve
as consultants for actual clients during a capstone course which provides realworld and résumé building experience.

To be successful in today’s globally interconnected society, you need not only business and technology skills but also multicultural, political, and economic awareness. Concentrate in language and culture (Arabic, Chinese, or Spanish), aviation and aerospace, or both. In your study of international cultures, you’ll focus on the values and business practices of emerging markets. Graduates help their employers take advantage of global market growth and joint venture opportunities, working as management analysts, international sales representatives, international financial analysts, market research analysts, and more. s

Noteworthy: Our 8-acre Robertson Aircraft Accident Investigation Laboratory is the only scenario-based accident investigation facility available for use by students at any university.
I N TE R D I S C I P L I N A RY S T U D I E S Combining aviation and technology with liberal arts, this degree seeks to produce students with an entrepreneurial spirit who will cross boundaries, make creative connections, and become leaders in aviation and aerospace. You start with core courses in the humanities, geography, international studies, philosophy, ethics, and psychology. Then combine the classes offered in our other degree programs—business administration, aviation safety, weather, computer applications, mathematics, and space studies, to name a few. s
Noteworthy: Recent graduates
have achieved positions of prominence in engineering, business, security, and other fields; others have pursued graduate studies in such fields as law and space operations.

physics programs. Students explore the fundamental forces of nature through experimental investigation of atomic, nuclear, and elementary particle systems. Working in our state-of-the-art labs, you study the “micro” and “macro” universe through the use of high-precision detectors. You work on projects that are aligned with faculty research in five major areas—astrophysics, particle physics and cosmology, gravitational waves, general relativity, and exotic propulsion—from the LIGO project to detect and harness cosmic gravitational waves, to matter/anti-matter propulsion of manned missions to Mars. s
W I L D LI F E S C I E N C E Our program—the only one of its kind in the country—gives you the knowledge and technical skills needed to tackle critical environmental and safety problems. Students gain hands-on experience through the completion of a co-op in the aviation and environmental industry. Graduates guide industry clients in becoming environmentally aware and compliant, as well as advise businesses and local government agencies on crucial environmental issues. This growing discipline offers a high degree of job placement: wildlife and environmental specialists at airports; environmental work with the FAA and federal, state, and local governments.
