With nearly 100 years of experience in aviation and aerospace education, Embry-Riddle can help you develop leadership qualities to fuel your growth in aeronautics, engineering, technology, business and beyond.

High Reliability Organization (HRO)

The highly complex nature of today’s global business landscape requires a comprehensive understanding of many variables, including risks to strategy, supply chain, safety, operations, finance and more. Few industries understand the importance of managing comprehensive business risks and associated business principles of an HRO better than the aviation industry. These principles emphasize the understanding and quantification of risk and building organizations with the ability to manage risks. The HRO theme and risk-related concepts are applicable to all industries.

Our specialized Master of Business Administration in Aviation (MBAA) gives today’s professionals the tools to successfully navigate the ever-evolving aviation landscape. Ideal for working professionals ready to rise to the challenge, this program offers all the opportunities of a traditional MBA with the bonus of discipline-specific expertise.

Designed for working professionals with a desire to enhance their technical background in STEM, our one-of-a-kind Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) covers sound managerial decision-making, leadership and organizational skills critical to the success of today’s firms.

You will graduate with in-demand skills enabling you to do anything from managing employees and supervising day-to-day operations to leading large and complex projects. Crafted with industry partners, the program ensures you are well-positioned to increase the efficiency and bottom-line results of any organization.

Gain the skills and expertise required in order to manage effectively and drive an organization toward success. The Master of Science in Management (MSM) positions you to become a well-rounded manager and apply efficient solutions to challenges facing organizations today. 

This applied program cultivates leading-edge management techniques and a technical acumen that builds upon foundational management principles. Discover innovative ways to analyze and interpret data into transformative action. Explore strategies to optimize plans and organizations.

A Message from the Dean

Dr. Maneesh Sharma, Dean of the College of Business
The HRO theme in our program is really unique and distinct. In today's world, every organization can benefit from a better understanding of systemic risk and how it can impact an organization moving forward. Most schools in this country and elsewhere don’t have a unifying theme across their graduate degrees.
