The only undergraduate degree of its kind in the nation, the Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Physiology blends aerospace with life science and leverages Embry-Riddle’s many strengths to take advantage of emerging opportunities in space and biomedicine.
Students study how extreme environments influence biological systems, including such things as the impacts of microgravity and radiation. The extensive curriculum prepares them for a variety of opportunities, not only in the medical fields but also in research and development to support the aerospace industry’s need for expertise in behavioral neuroscience, stress and fatigue, nutritional biochemistry, pharmacotherapeutics, health and human performance, genomic expression, and the human microbiome, among others.
For those students interested in the health sciences, personalized advising tracks have been created to facilitate those applying to medical school, pharmacy, physical therapy, physician assistant, optometry, chiropractic medicine, occupational therapy, dentistry, and pathologist assistant programs.
The Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Physiology degree is housed in the Department of Human Factors and Behavioral Neurobiology in the College of Arts and Sciences.
The courses, taught by faculty with vast real-world experience in aerospace and physiology, ensure students have the breadth of knowledge they need, thanks to a combination of subjects that include data analysis, human factors and performance, molecular and cellular biology, and aviation.
In addition to the classwork, our groundbreaking partnerships with area hospitals allow Aerospace Physiology students to experience hands-on clinical rotations that will expose them to latest in medical innovations, treatment techniques and cutting-edge research.

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.
It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.
A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):
