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

Embry-Riddle Worldwide's reported six-year graduation rate was 23%, while its four-year rate was 10%. These figures describe defined groups of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students measured over different periods; they are not the probability that every new Worldwide student will graduate.

An additional reported overall graduation measure was 21%, and the reported first-year retention rate was 60%. The graduation measures can reflect different cohorts or reporting definitions and should not be added together. Worldwide enrolls many transfer students and older learners, whose paths are not fully represented by a measure focused on first-time, full-time entrants. Even so, the rates make degree planning important: applicants can ask an adviser for a course-by-course completion plan based on their transfer credits and realistic term-by-term enrollment.

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

Federal College Scorecard program data report earnings for some fields of study about one year after completion. The figures are field-specific measures for students represented in those federal data, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every Embry-Riddle Worldwide graduate.

Reported one-year figures include $65,961 for vehicle maintenance and repair technologies, $64,540 for aerospace engineering, and $53,995 for air transportation. A figure for one field should not be used to judge another: graduates can enter different jobs, work in different regions or bring substantial prior experience to their studies. The figures also do not subtract tuition, account for debt or establish that a particular degree caused the reported earnings.

Worldwide students can use career counseling, résumé support, career-interest resources, a job bank and alumni networking opportunities. Those services may help with a search, but their availability is distinct from a verified employment or salary outcome.
