Students are enrolled in one of two residential campuses located in Daytona Beach, Florida and Prescott, Arizona or in ERAU Worldwide, composed of over 130 non-residential campuses and online programs.
The University began on December 17, 1925, exactly 22 years after the Wright Brothers‘ first flight, when Talton Higbee Embry and John Paul Riddle formed the Embry-Riddle Company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio.
On December 25, 2006 at 1:45 p.m. an F2 tornado touched down in Daytona Beach, causing major damage to the campus. Several university buildings were damaged, and both the main administration building and the aircraft fleet maintenance hangar were destroyed. Fifty aircraft were damaged or destroyed totaling an estimated $50 million.
