A common story at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide or ERAU is our dedication to our students in providing them with the necessary learning modalities to enable them to pursue their education according to their lifestyle and schedule. Our goal is to give students the education they need the way they need it through our Five Ways to Learn. The Five Ways to learn include Classroom, Blended Learning, Eagle Vision Classroom, Eagle Vision Home and Online Learning.

Classroom learning gives the student the ability to learn in a traditional setting with a professor and a chalkboard. Blended Learning provides the student with a classroom environment as well as online technologies. Eagle Vision Classroom allows the student to attend classes in a classroom setting alongside with other students from all over the world at the same time. Eagle Vision Home gives the student the opportunity to learn from the convenience of their own home while participating with the rest of their classmates from all over the world. Online Learning gives our students the flexibility they need to continue their education no matter what their schedule may be.

ERAU’s Five Ways to Learn promotes the organization’s goal of providing our students with the opportunity to continue their education as adults, as they embark down the road to success. Embry Riddle gives a new meaning to flexible learning with their five different modalities offered. Many of our students are active military and are currently serving our country in the Middle East. With the opportunity to partake in one of our learning modalities it is almost impossible for students to be unable to continue their education. ERAU has brought the physical classroom to the internet giving students the ability to solve problems, learn together and engage with one another even though they may be thousands of miles apart.  Worldwide has more than 150 locations throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Middle East and now Asia giving our student population a culturally diverse education. Our aim is for adult learning and through this flexible program that is what our students receive according to their schedule and lifestyle.

The Five Ways to learn does describe who we are as a company in that it promotes our university to remain on the verge of technology.  “At Embry-Riddle Worldwide, we want to help you achieve those goals and advance your career even if work responsibilities and family obligations preclude you from attending classes on a traditional college campus” and that is why our Five Ways to learn enables students to do just that!

As a student myself I am partaking in Embry Riddle’s Online Learning. Through this program I am able to work full time, have a family full time and also pursue my Master degree. I have never been happier going to school because I choose what works best for my schedule not the other way around. I previously attended a traditional college where classes were always scheduled in the middle of the working day or at night when it was time to be with my family. This type of learning made it impossible for me to work in a professional career field. Once I graduated with my Bachelor degree I thought it was impossible to go back for my Masters as I accepted my position here at ERAU. However to my surprise I learned of the amazing Five Ways to Learn program and immediately changed my mind and decided to go back to school. Since starting the Online Learning I have maintained straight A’s while giving birth to my first child. This would not have been possible without Embry Riddle’s commitment in providing to their students with an adult learning style of education through the Five Ways to Learn.
