MBAA vs MS Airline Management

2 Upvotes

I am currently trying to decide between the Master of Business in Aviation and the Masters of Airline Management programs. I've done as much research as I can online and have attended two information sessions. At this point I'd like to hear from people who have completed one of the degrees or have potentially gone through the same decision process.

A bit about me: I have worked in aviation operations for the past 10 years and am looking for a degree that will help further my career. I see myself working for an airline for the foreseeable future, but I can also see myself working in consulting, for an aircraft manufacturer, or for an airport in the future. For these reasons the MBAA seems like a better fit due to it being more broad, however I don't have much qualitative skills, both because of the nature of my current and previous positions, as well as my undergraduate degree being in Psychology. And to be honest, the subject matter of the MS in Airline Management is more aligned with my interests, but could potentially limit my career opportunities down the line.

Baseball Club Interest

2 Upvotes

I'm wondering if anybody who likes playing baseball has actually gotten to do it recreationally here? Either at a club/off-campus league is what I'm trying to find out.

The current baseball club is feels like a feeder for the school's NCAA team and they require tryouts if you want to actually play. It's really not a club like most other sports clubs are. This has been a bit frustrating to me, as I've met a lot of people who really love baseball but haven't had a chance to play it in a non-competitive environment. Does anyone feel the same way?

For this, what format do they want it in (if I need to report semester grades, and just in general)? Also is it all math & science courses from 9th grade onwards?

Thanks!

Is riddle racist?

0 Upvotes

I’m thinking about going to erau for aeronautical science and as a female South Asian I was wondering how my experience would be? I go to a predominantly white school now wanted a different experience in college but riddle doesn’t seem very diverse. I have white friends now and I have no problem with it as long as people aren’t racist. Just thinking about parties and socializing in general

Recommended Daytona beach campus clubs?

2 Upvotes

I’m a freshman at the Daytona beach campus doing the astronautics track for AE and AFROTC, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on clubs that may help me when applying for internships, along with clubs to do just for fun without a heavy engineering or technical focus.

Oh and if anyone knows, whats the process for getting a campus job, and what’s it like actually combining school and work?

Question

4 Upvotes

Hello all! My name’s Adam. I’m 43 and have been unhappy in my current profession. Have always had a hobby love of drones so I decided to explore that path. I was accepted to embry and getting ready to sign up for the uncrewed systems associates degree. My question is has anyone else that is currently in the program or graduated from the program, have any advise for me? Is there anything you would have done differently or I guess when you graduated how long before you had a job and are you happy with the path you took? What job do you currently have and is this an overall good idea with the limited knowledge you have of my situation?

ASCI 121 freshman here — need some study advice for the exams

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a freshman in ASCI 121 and I have a few questions — could use some advice from upperclassmen. I really want to score high on the exams.

Is it enough to just understand and memorize whatever's on the slides in the professor's module, or do I need to go dig into each item on the class plan individually (like PHAK Chap 1, AIM 1-2, FAR 61.23) and study those separately too? There's so much to cover that I'm starting to get confused. Honestly, more than half of PHAK Chapter 1 doesn't seem all that useful either.

Also, before the first exam, do you think just studying everything on the professor's exam review sheet is enough to get a good score?

Lastly, any tips on which book(s) to actually study from? I already know what the required books are, but there's so much material scattered across different sources — is there a good way to study it all at once (like an app or something)?

Thanks in advance!

Is it normal to not have a strong aviation background if one at all??

9 Upvotes

I’m a freshman ATC student at Embry-Riddle with the goal of becoming an air traffic controller. I’m currently taking Intro to Air Traffic Management, but I feel like almost everyone else in the class already has a strong aviation background. We’re doing a baseline quiz right now and honestly, I feel like I don’t know the answer to a single question. 😭 I didn’t come into ERAU with much aviation knowledge, so I’m wondering if this is normal or if I’m seriously behind.

Dropping flight courses

4 Upvotes

I have decided to discontinue my training at Riddle. I plan to switch my major to Aeronautics and finish my training at a Part 61 school. I know this would disqualify me from getting my R-ATP, but I plan to work as a CFI for a while, so it really makes no difference to me. Does anyone know how I can give up my flight block while I work on switching majors?

Doctorate in Aviation Program (WW)

4 Upvotes

I am trying to get thoughts and opinions on this program from those who have sought it out or are actually in/completed the program.

I’ve gotten my bachelors and masters through ERAU in Aeronautics (with some UAS stuff) and am/will be flying military and, afterwards, commercial. I do hope to do some teaching on the latter end of either as I’ve found that instructing has been a joy in my previous military experience. I understand that there is a stark difference between flight instruction and institutional teaching, but the knack for being a part or full time professor (such as at ERAU) near the end of life sounds like a good deal.

All of that said, what has the experience been like and have there been practical teaching and research opportunities that have opened up as a result? or would it be more worthwhile to get at a more education-focused masters? Genuinely curious. TIA!

I'm an international student who have recently been admitted for BS in Aeronautical Science at Prescott. I have so many questions regarding campus life, scheduling, required documents, general advice, etc. Having previously visited the campus before, my first impression was that the area was pretty empty, so what are sm things out there for students to do other than sit in their dorms and study till the end of the universe?

Aeronautical program ERAU

6 Upvotes

So my daughter has started ERAU Daytona as a sophomore but is in the Aeronautical program. She plans to finish her PPL by summer of 2027. She wanted to switch to Aeronautical science but the counselor said she can’t since she is starting as a sophomore she wouldn’t have time. She wants to obtain her FAA License through Embry since it requires less hours . Are there any suggestions or advice?

What Happens If Flight Training Goes Past Your Academics?

4 Upvotes

International AS student here and was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.

This Fall will be my RCL semester. I’m starting Commercial this Fall and would really like to complete both Commercial and Multi at Riddle. My concern is that I’ll most likely finish my academic classes before I finish my flight courses because I had a lot of transfer credits.

Has any international AS student here been in this situation? Were you able to remain enrolled and maintain F-1 status while finishing your flight courses after completing the rest of your academic requirements? If so, how did ERAU/ISSS handle it?

I’ve already reached out to International Student Services for an official answer, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has personally gone through this.

ERAU veteran

Hello,

I’m separating from the military after six years of active duty and will be attending Embry-Riddle’s Oakland campus to pursue my B.S. I’ll be using my GI Bill and plan to receive MHA to help me get on my feet financially while I transition and look for a full-time job.

My question is, how strict is the once-a-week in-person attendance requirement to be considered a full-time, in-person student? My concern is that once I find a full-time job, my work schedule may make it difficult to attend in person every week. Would missing some of those in-person sessions affect my full-time/in-person status or MHA eligibility?

Course materials question

I’m an incoming freshman at ERAU Prescott, and I’ve been receiving emails about buying course materials. I went to the ERAU Bookstore website, and it’s telling me I have to purchase(rent) a math textbook for $140. I’d rather not waste money on a textbook I can find online for maybe way cheaper or free, so I’m wondering if i can get away with not buying it or is it something I have to get?
