As an institute of higher learning, the Forth Worth campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in flight and management; undergraduate degrees are available in associates and baccalaureate. Associate degrees require a minimum of 60 credits upon completion, while bachelor's degrees require at least 120 credits. Master's programs require an additional 36 to 39 credits post-baccalaureate and are available as a Master of Science and Master of Business; several specializations are available, including aeronautics, aviation education, safety systems and operations. While careers as a pilot are certainly within the realm of this education, a degree allows students other options in the aeronautics industry.
