Graduate Degrees Offered at the
Daytona Beach Campus
Aeronautics
The Master of Science in Aeronautics is a broad-based, flexible degree that provides the aviation professional with a rigorous individualized curriculum based on the "man-machine-system-solution" concept. This background endows the graduate with the knowledge and skills necessary to advance in the aviation/aerospace industry. The degree allows in-career flight crew members, air traffic control personnel, flight operations specialists, industry technical representatives, aviation educators, and other aviation/aerospace professionals to enhance their knowledge and careers.
Aerospace Engineering
Candidates may choose from two degree options: the Master of Aerospace Engineering (non-thesis program) or the Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering (thesis program). Both programs provide formal post-baccalaureate study in areas of knowledge required by engineers engaged in aircraft/aerospace-oriented research, development, and design activities.
Business Administration - MBA
In the Master of Business Administration program, you will learn to use modern management concepts, methods, and tools in organizations in aviation and other industries. You will gain an understanding of the unique characteristics of the aviation industry and the management principles underlying all business.
MBA-Aviation Management
Embry-Riddle offers an MBA in Aviation Management through a broad-based telecommunications network. This provides students with an MBA program located in the Daytona Beach College of Business and the opportunity for adult learners to interact with a group of scholars at the forefront of aviation and aerospace management education.
Human Factors and Systems
The Master of Science degree in Human Factors and Systems has two distinct tracks. Choose human factors to learn the techniques of human factors research OR systems, to learn the systematic approach in designing machines, tasks, systems, and workplaces. These programs are designed meet the highest academic rigors (full preparation for doctoral- level studies), while at the same time preparing the students for immediate employment in real-world, cost-sensitive, and operationally driven aviation/aerospace environments.
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) program provides students advanced study in engineering with a specialization in Electro-Mechanical Systems. Both thesis and non-thesis options are available. Students are expected to participate in both applied and theoretical research. Typical research areas include unmanned and autonomous vehicle systems, robotics, high-performance vehicles, clean energy systems and computational fluid dynamics. Students are prepared to design and implement electro-mechanical systems to fulfill the needs of a wide range of industries, including aerospace, aviation, automotive, and energy systems.
Software Engineering
The goal of the program is to provide recent college graduates, or college graduates who have had several years of professional experience, in-depth understanding of the tools, techniques, and disciplined engineering practices that are needed to be successful in the rapidly changing field of software engineering. These experiences and skills provide the foundation for technical excellence and career growth. Graduates of the program can rapidly assume positions of substantial responsibility within a software development organization.
Engineering Physics
Our Master of Science in Engineering Physics program (Space Science) specifically emphasizes scientific instrumentation, applied optics, remote sensing, spacecraft subsystems (such as power, attitude and thermal control), and a wide variety of topics in space science and engineering. This program is heavily research-oriented, covering areas such as experimental programs with satellite systems, sounding rockets, ground-based remote-sensing experiments, and a parallel program of theoretical studies in many areas.
Ph.D. Engineering Physics
The objective of this Ph.D. program is to provide advanced education and research opportunities to exceptional students by providing a research environment that fosters collaboration, creative thinking, and publishing of findings in nationally recognized journals. Areas of research emphasis will build upon existing research in the Physical Sciences Department. These include the measurement, theory and modeling of the near-space and space neutral and plasma environment, studies of the Sun and stellar activity, orbital stability and dynamics, engineering related to spacecraft instrumentation and remote sensing measurements, and the design and implementation of electro-optical and radar systems.
