For students with existing aviation-related knowledge and skills, this degree acknowl- edges a student’s valuable acquired experi- ence through the award of advanced standing prior-learning credit. The curriculum then builds on those skills and knowledge. The program also provides an opportunity for students new to aviation to acquire aviation- specific knowledge through aviation-related coursework. This combination of a student’s aviation learning, aviation courses, courses in business, computer science, economics, humanities, communications, social sci- ences, mathematics, and physical sciences, along with professional development elec- tive courses and a minor course of study, will prepare graduates for a career in an aviation- related field. Aviation Area of Concentration The Aviation Area of Concentration is the degree component where students can select courses from various aviation-related fields. In addition, the AOC portion of the degree is where credit for prior aviation learn- ing is applied. Thirty-six hours of credit are needed to satisfy the requirements of this portion of the Aeronautics degree. All or part of the credit needed for this degree requirement may be awarded based on prior 200, or both, and constitutes a minimum of 70 hours of experience. * AS 410 serves as the capstone course for the Aircraft Dispatcher program.

The Student Affairs Student Conduct Board is composed of a student chief justice, two student justices, and two staff/faculty justices. Students may elect to adjudicate an appeal through a University Administrator rather than the Student Affairs Student Conduct Board. The supervisor of the University Student Conduct officer that made the original decision may serve as the appeal administrator. Applications for hear- ing or appeal are available through the Dean of Students Office. If the student complaint cannot be resolved after exhausting the institution’s grievance procedure, the student may file a complaint with the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education. The student must contact the State Board suffering death or serious injury, or where the aircraft receives substantial background check requirements.

Ebbs, led the University from 1998 through 2005. During his tenure the annual college guide produced by U.S. News & World Report consistently ranked, and continues to rank, Embry-Riddle’s aerospace engineering program No. 1 in the nation among schools without doctoral programs. Embry-Riddle’s programs in aerospace engi- neering, aeronautical science, and engineer- ing physics are the largest in the nation. Under the leadership of Dr. Ebbs, new Dr. George H. Ebbs Dr. John P. Johnson Embry-Riddle consoli- dated its flight, ground school, and techni- cal training programs into one location. This move, which proved to be a moment of singular importance, was made possible by Daytona Beach civic leaders who donated time, money, and the use of personal vehi- cles. The relocation signaled the rebirth of Embry-Riddle and the start of its odyssey to world-class status in aviation higher educa- tion. In June 1970, Embry-Riddle changed its name from “Institute” to “University,” and resident centers were established at U.S. military aviation centers to serve the educa- tional needs of active-duty military person- nel. Application for Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accreditation through the Commission on Colleges was initiated in 1970 and received in 1972. The University has participated in the Self-Study process ever since. Also under President Hunt’s leader- ship, Embry-Riddle opened a western cam- pus in Prescott, Arizona, on the 510-acre site of a former college. With superb flying weather and expansive grounds, the Prescott Campus has been an outstanding compan- ion to the University’s eastern campus in Daytona Beach.
