Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott

What are the graduation rates for students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott?

Embry-Riddle Prescott's reported six-year graduation rate is 68% for the first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort used in federal graduation reporting. Its four-year rate is 46%. The gap shows that some students in that measured group completed a degree after four years but within six.

These rates do not describe every student who enrolls: transfer students, part-time entrants, and students beginning in other categories are not represented in the same way. The reported first-year retention rate is 82%, measuring continued enrollment rather than graduation. None of these figures establishes why an individual student stays or leaves.

For a prospective student, the four- versus six-year difference has a financial implication: an additional term can mean further tuition, living expenses, or delayed full-time earnings. Applicants in flight or engineering majors can ask for a term-by-term degree plan to see how prerequisites and course availability affect their own timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings one year after completion, not a salary guarantee for every Embry-Riddle Prescott graduate. The reported figures are medians for graduates with earnings captured in the relevant federal data, so they should not be read as starting salaries offered by a particular employer.

• Aerospace, aeronautical, and astronautical/space engineering: $64,540
• Computer engineering: $70,001
• Mechanical engineering: $67,674
• Air transportation: $53,995
• Business administration, management, and operations: $56,141
• Atmospheric sciences and meteorology: $40,282

These are field-of-study figures reported in the October 2026 College Scorecard data, not forecasts for the next graduating class. They may exclude graduates without matched earnings and do not explain differences in location, employer, additional training, or graduate-school enrollment. Comparing earnings with a program's full cost - including any flight-training expenses - is more informative than considering the earnings figure alone.
