Master of
Business Administration
Embry-Riddle’s MBA prepares you to work in a range of industries, including careers with leading airlines, aerospace and aviation firms and regulatory bodies.
Master of Business Administration programs are available from nearly every institution of higher education that offers graduate degrees, so a student’s choices are vast. But, at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, students pursue a Business Administration master's degree already aligned with an industry.
Embry-Riddle is the top University of aviation/aerospace, which means when a student joins the program, they also join the dynamic industry that represents the nation’s single largest export.
Pursuing a Master of Business Administration degree at Embry-Riddle gives students a firsthand look at aviation business practices. The university has offered aviation business degrees for more than 50 years, and adapts the program to meet current industry demands.
Students will learn to apply modern management concepts, methods, and tools to the challenges of aviation, or to any other area where there may be an exciting opportunity.
Versatility and analytical resourcefulness are two of the key aims of the MBA. For students wishing to study a wide range of aviation subject matter, the MBA allows flexibility in elective choices across a range of aviation fields and business subject matter.
For those wishing to specialize in a unique area of aviation or aerospace, part of the program can be individually molded to satisfy personal interests.
Students can customize the degree program to select a specialization unique to aviation or aerospace, on top of the core business courses. Select areas of specialization to best complement the graduate’s career aspirations are:
- Airport Management
- Airline Management
- Aviation System Management
- Finance
- Supply Chain Management
