An Integrated Approach to AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) at Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University is a university-wide capability integrated across academics, research and student experience. Rather than existing as a single program, AI is embedded throughout aviation, aerospace, engineering, data science, cybersecurity and teaching innovation.
Our focus is on applying intelligent systems to solve real-world challenges in complex, high-stakes environments like aviation safety, flight operations, autonomous systems and engineering innovation.
Embry‑Riddle offers a growing range of programs and courses that integrate AI across disciplines and programs — from dedicated certificates and minors to machine learning coursework.
Students at all levels gain focused, industry-connected education that blends technical depth with real-world application, particularly in AI-enabled aviation and aerospace systems.
Dedicated AI Programs
The Undergraduate Certificate and Minor in Artificial Intelligence, Ethics and Creativity provides a multidisciplinary introduction to AI that blends technical literacy with ethical reasoning and creative application.
Designed for both degree-seeking students and non-degree learners, these programs explore generative AI, real-world use cases and the societal impact of intelligent technologies while incorporating perspectives from the humanities and cognitive science.
AI-Focused Courses
Embry‑Riddle offers a comprehensive suite of AI-focused courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
Undergraduate courses build foundational skills in prompt engineering, data analysis and AI-driven research while exploring societal and ethical implications.
Graduate courses advance into specialized topics such as AI-driven risk assessment, digital engineering, big data systems and advanced machine learning methods.
