Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, located in Daytona Beach, Fla., is the largest and oldest aviation school in the world. Students can choose from more than 40 degree programs, including Aerospace Engineering and Aeronautical Science, which are both the largest of those programs in the nation. Given Embry-Riddle's unique, specialized studies, it's no surprise that student life is a little different as well. About 80 percent of students are male, and it may be the only school with a fleet of more than 90 instructional aircraft on hand and a student organization specifically for future air traffic controllers. Students can also join any of the other 150 student organizations, write for The Avion student newspaper, or pledge with any of the nearly 15 Greek-letter organizations.

Embry-Riddle also offers club and recreational sports opportunities, as well as around 15 varsity teams. Appropriately named the Eagles, Embry-Riddle athletic teams compete in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) Division I Sun Conference. Graduate students can choose from around 20 programs, and notable alumni include Patrice Clarke Washington, the first African-American female pilot with a commercial airline.

At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, 61.0 percent of full-time undergraduates receive some kind of need-based financial aid and the average need-based scholarship or grant award is $9,085.
