Embry Riddle Aeronautical University

I graduated last year with my B.S. in Tech Mgmt. I learned a lot and the degree even got me accepted into a good graduate program. More than 25% of the aviation community has been educated by ERAU, so it is useful when it comes to networking and the like. It is important to note, that like most degrees today, you should accompany it with relevant experience in order to get a decent job. No one is going to hire you with a BS in Aviation Mx and no experience. With that said, it is a good degree for those with relevant experience in the aviation community. They compliment each other well, and I've received decent job offers, albeit I do have several years of relevant aircraft industry experience. With all that said, I'd rate the school a 4/5 (if you're already in the aviation industry).

I recently finished this degree. The core classes were as mediocre as those at any other school. The classes specific to the degree - and more importantly - the professors teaching the same, were of the highest calibre. I took the majority of the classes online, and a handfull in the classroom. You can't go wrong either way. The support staff are knowledgable and friendly, always willing to help. The technology felt cumbersome at first but improvements with the Blackboard software allowed me to focus on the class and not the "classroom."
