Becoming an astronaut
is the ambition of many of the applicants at Embry-Riddle, as well as many
other smart young people today. The Embry-Riddle Aerospace Engineering program
is rated best in the country in its category. Of the 144 Air Force detachments
in the country Embry-Riddle was recently rated number one.
They produce more officers for the Air Force than any other university except
the Air Force Academy. Embry-Riddle also has the best success rate in undergraduate
pilot training.
Good grades could get an Air Force scholarship, yielding
two skills - an aerospace engineer and a pilot and a guaranteed job. Maybe
even become an astronaut, commanding a space vehicle, financed mostly
on the government!
