Some campuses or programs may have additional considerations, such as flight preparation, document submission methods or international evaluation requirements. You’ll find those details in each campus tab.
Embry-Riddle considers each application for transfer admission individually, reviewing the student’s academic record, grades received in all college-level courses and the rigor of the student’s academic program.
Admission criteria may vary by program. Be sure to check out our Academic Catalog for full requirements. Technical programs, in particular, may require additional coursework, a higher GPA, supplemental documentation or other specific qualifications.
