Students who have earned college credits after graduating from high school and before attending Embry-Riddle are considered transfer students.

Transfer credits will be accepted if they meet all the following criteria:

• Credits were obtained from an accredited institution
• A grade of C or better was achieved in the course
• The course description corresponds with the description of an equivalent course at Embry-Riddle
• The credits can be applied toward the desired degree program.

An official transfer credit evaluation will be conducted upon acceptance. Students planning to attend another college or university before enrolling at Embry-Riddle are encouraged to focus on general education courses, such as math, English, humanities, social sciences and physical sciences. Our  can serve as a helpful reference, and students are encouraged to contact their admission counselor for guidance on transferring.

For more information on transferring and transfer credit, visit the Transfer Student page and access the Transfer Portal, which allows you to input classes from other colleges to estimate your transfer credit.

Coursework you’ve completed via Cambridge AS/A Levels, Dual Enrollment, Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) may be eligible for transfer credit. You can use our transfer portals to get a look at how your credits may transfer before you apply.

For credit to be awarded, test scores must be submitted to us from the testing agency and official college transcripts with final grades posted must be sent to us directly from the college for evaluation. We’ll also need a copy of your official final high school transcript reflecting graduation.

Both the essay and resume are optional and not required for admission to Embry-Riddle, but they will help much more within the admissions process and in obtaining scholarships.

Many Embry‑Riddle students come from a military background, and we recognize that you may have prior military training or experience you wish to have reviewed for possible credit. Embry-Riddle follows credit recommendations outlined by the American Council on Education (ACE) to determine if your prior experience can count toward your degree. Ask your admissions counselor for more information!

Costs vary depending on the academic program and campus you choose. Students pursuing a degree that requires flight training will incur additional expenses. Embry-Riddle remains one of the most affordable private universities for aviation and aerospace education.

Keep in mind that while private universities may have higher tuition than public institutions, that doesn't always mean higher out-of-pocket costs. Institutions with higher costs can often offer greater amounts of financial aid, which can make your final cost comparable, or even less.
