Daytona Beach, Florida, United States Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach Full time

Since its inception, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has
remained best in class — the unquestioned global leader in
aerospace education, and the definitive source of innovation in
aviation and aerospace education and research. The largest, most
comprehensive institution of its kind, Embry-Riddle was founded in
1926, 22 years after the Wright brothers' first demonstration of
piloted, powered flight: 12 seconds that changed the world and
eventually brought Embry-Riddle into being. Today, with a nearly
100-year legacy of innovation and excellence in education, even
greater accomplishments lie ahead — and above

Embry-Riddle holds multiple Top 10 academic rankings. Our
aerospace engineering programs, for example, have routinely been
judged to be the nation's best. With a long history of serving
those who serve, Embry-Riddle is annually named "Best for
Veterans." In addition, the university's online bachelor's degree
programs have ranked first or second in the nation for the past
eight years. And, Embry-Riddle's professional pilot degree programs
are the unquestioned gold standard for aspiring aviators.

a more exciting time to make your mark on our University's history.
