Program Overview

Embry-Riddle’s Business Administration degree program helps students combine a strong understanding of business principles with an in-depth study of aviation, along with general education courses that will give them a well-rounded background necessary to succeed in business. Graduates are prepared to help aviation and aerospace businesses meet the challenges they face in this constantly evolving industry.

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree is housed in the Department of Management, Marketing, & Operations in the David B. O'Maley College of Business.

Students will benefit from our location adjacent to the Daytona Beach International Airport, where they will get firsthand experience.

The Daytona Beach Campus also features an Applied Aviation Simulation Lab and the Total Airport & Airspace Modeler (TAAM) Lab, which simulates airport operations to “test” the impact of planned changes (new runways, altered flights, etc.).
