ERAU Aviation Environmental Science

Embry-Riddle’s Prescott campus offers the only undergraduate Environmental Science degree in North America with an aviation and aerospace focus. The aviation and aerospace industry has the greatest need of professionals who can help solve an increasingly complex web of problems associated with environmental issues. The Aviation Environmental Science program at Embry-Riddle is designed to give graduates the knowledge and technical skills needed to tackle the environmental and safety issues found in the aviation and aerospace industry.

The core curriculum in Aviation Environmental Science is designed to give students fundamental science knowledge and demonstrate the ways in which business, economics, geography and policy studies integrate with environmental aspects of their future careers. Aviation Environmental Science students will also gain hands-on experience through the completion of a co-op in the aviation and environmental industry. Students also have the option of completing independent research under faculty guidance in a special area of interest. In addition, Aviation Environmental Science students will choose between two specific areas of concentration:

Applied Environmental Science: Our unique science courses and faculty give students precisely the knowledge and skills that they need to become environmental problem solvers. Students will help aviation industries become environmentally aware and compliant through co-ops, internships, and consulting projects that are part of the curriculum. Designated electives in this area of concentration focus on environmental and biological issues.

Environmental Management: Designated electives in this area of concentration allow students to further tailor their interests with rigorous academic preparation in their choice of the following areas: marketing, human resource management, international business, environmental law, and much more. Student field trips and guest speakers provide students a unique opportunity to gain industry awareness. Students who chose this option will be well equipped to understand how public sector or private sector entities operate.
