Here's the crazy part...
  • Tuition cost -$980 per credit hour
  • Books (est.) -$300 per 3-credit course
  • Residency- $1200 per residency in addition to tuition
But... to anyone that can afford it, good luck!
Aviation Ph.D. Program Description Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

I think it makes sense actually. If your goal is to be a professor teaching aviation, then you should probably shoot to go as high as possible. If so many people are going to continue to endorse aviation in an academic setting, then the credentials need to rise to that same level.

So depending on your professional goals, it makes sense.
