Student Reviews
Good classes/Bad money
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
All in all it is a good school, one nice benefit is all the classes are structured in the same manor so predictability helps you prepare for future classes. The teachers are easy to get a hold of and the standards are known. The negatives for the school is not with the education part but with the class registration and finance. If you have a finance issue good look...

I'm enrolled in ERAU's online program. I have always been an advocate of the traditional classroom style of instruction but circumstances did not allow that. The online program is limiting my full experience.
Best Aerospace Engineer program ever.
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
ERAU is a university that strives for students' learning. I learned a lot about Aerospace Engineering, and was surrounded by professors that were experience and part of the Aerospace Industry, having worked in companies like Boeing, Blue Origin, AirBus and SpaceX. Would definitely have chosen ERAU again.
