REACH NEW HEIGHTS


BE A PART OF EMBRY‑RIDDLE'S UNPARALLELED TRADITION

As the world’s largest and most respected university specializing in aviation
and aerospace, Embry‑Riddle has been at the forefront of ground-breaking
aeronautical milestones since the early days of flight. With over 150,000
graduates around the globe, Embry‑Riddle is not only leading the future, it
is changing it.

us apart

The Embry‑Riddle Company is founded by T. Higbee Embry and John Paul Riddle at
Cincinnati’s Lunken Airport on Dec. 17 – exactly 22 years to the day after the
Wright brothers’ famed flight at Kitty Hawk.

The Embry‑Riddle Flying School, which opened in spring 1926, gains attention in
1927 when the school trains student Frank Shelton to fly solo in only 5 hours,
34 minutes – believed to be the shortest amount of time at that point.

Cincinnati becomes one of the nation’s first cities with direct Airmail service.
The Embry‑Riddle Company wins the contract because it had "gained a name for
itself through the industry, the quality of its flying school, and the high tone
of operations at Lunken Airport," according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

After thorough examination by the Aeronautics Branch of the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Embry‑Riddle’s Flying School becomes one of the first five schools in
the country to receive an “Approved School Certificate” under the Air Commerce
Act.

The U.S. government selects the now Miami-based Embry‑Riddle Company to train
pilots for the U.S. Army Air Corps, the predecessor to the U.S. Air Force. By
the height of WWII, Embry‑Riddle is the largest privately operated flight school
in the world.

In the post-war years, the Riddle Aeronautical Institute continues to train
pilots but struggles financially until the early 1960s, when increased demand
for aviators causes the school to outgrow its Miami facilities.

The Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical Institute, established as a non-profit corporation
in 1959, moves from Miami to Daytona Beach, FL, in 1965, in what the school
calls “Operation Bootstrap.”

Embry‑Riddle achieves university status in 1970 and becomes Embry‑Riddle
Aeronautical University. That same year, the first residence center is
established in Fort Rucker, AL, the beginning of Embry‑Riddle’s Worldwide
Campus. Later in the decade, the university opens a residential campus in
Prescott, AZ.

With residential campuses now in Daytona Beach, FL, and Prescott, AZ, tens of
thousands of online students, and many Worldwide locations around the world,
Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University continues to train the world’s best pilots,
plus some of the best engineers, mechanics, air traffic controllers,
meteorologists, and many others.
