A master's degree from Embry-Riddle puts you at the intersection of advanced expertise and industry access. Our graduate programs are shaped by partnerships with NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, the Department of Defense and hundreds of other organizations that actively recruit Embry-Riddle talent.

Frequently Asked Questions for Graduate Applicants
Looking for quick answers? Start here. These frequently asked questions cover the topics we’re asked about most often, and reach out if you need additional support.
Most master's programs can be completed in 12 to 24 months, depending on your enrollment status and course load. Full-time residential students typically finish in 12 to 18 months. Part-time and online students typically finish in 18 to 24 months. Worldwide's nine-week term format allows motivated students to accelerate their timeline by taking courses in consecutive terms.
Yes. Many of our graduate students are working professionals. Worldwide online programs are specifically designed for this — asynchronous coursework means you can study on your schedule. Residential programs at Daytona Beach and Prescott offer evening, hybrid and part-time options for students who need flexibility.
Not always. Some programs accept students from a range of undergraduate backgrounds, particularly the MBA, project management and human factors programs. Others — like aerospace engineering or computer science — require specific prerequisite coursework. If you're missing prerequisites, some programs offer bridge courses or conditional admission to help you get up to speed. Check your intended program for details.
It depends on the campus and program. Most Worldwide online programs do not require standardized tests. Daytona Beach and Prescott require them for some programs but offer waivers for applicants with significant professional experience or strong academic records. Embry-Riddle undergraduates applying through accelerated pathways are also typically waived. Contact your program for the current policy.
Yes. Embry-Riddle accepts up to 12 graduate credits from regionally accredited institutions toward a master's degree. Credits must be from courses with a grade of B or better, must align with your program's curriculum and must not have been used to satisfy another degree.

Daytona Beach and Prescott have priority deadlines (typically February for fall, October for spring) but accept applications on a rolling basis.
