Review of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Worldwide
from Fort Walton Beach, FL
Describe your college in three sentences.
From a military member's perspective Embry-Riddle is an excellent choice. Many times an individual must deploy or change shifts during a given semester, at Embry-Riddle instructors normally have prior military experience and are more than willing to work with students. Also, Embry-Riddle routinely deploys instructors to deployed locations which enables students to continue their studies while away from home.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
This most important issue is to talk to the staff at the school. Settle on a desired area of study and stay with it. Make sure the requirements of the degree are well understood at the beginning of the year. Also, a long range schedule of upcoming classes will come in handy.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The instructors at Embry-Riddle are great! Having had prior military experience and thorough time in the field, the information is very practical and geared precisely to the course content. Students will be challenged and will finish the courses with a wealth of knowledge.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I waited over ten years from my High School graduation to begin taking college level courses. My first five courses were taken in Europe on an Air Force Base. These courses were accelerated, which means I attended class on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for 3-4 weeks. This schedule allowed for many Airman to attend class during Operation Allied Force.
