Recent data from the Department of Education’s College Scorecard revealed that Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s (ERAU) residential campuses in Arizona and Florida produce the highest-paid graduates in their respective states. The data placed the university graduates alongside those of institutions such as California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), Yale University, Columbia University, and the University of Notre Dame, according to ERAU, citing Business Insider analysis.
In addition, the data helps underscore earnings potential in the aviation and aerospace disciplines. “As the global leader in aviation and aerospace education, Embry-Riddle has always been dedicated to student success as well as providing a high return on investment for its more than 170,000 alumni,” said ERAU president Barry Butler.
College Scorecard is designed to inform prospective students as they make career choices, as well as serve as a resource for policymakers and researchers.&nbsp;ERAU cited a range of fields in demand that it offers, including engineering, aeronautical science, advanced air mobility, safety, cybersecurity, uncrewed aircraft systems, space physics, space operations, and aviation and aerospace business and analytics.
ERAU’s residential campuses exceed 11,000 students, with 7,943 undergraduates at its Daytona Beach, Florida campus and 3,232 in Prescott, Arizona. Many remain in their respective states after graduation, the university noted.
