The one that has been named the best offically is Embry Riddle Daytona Campus then US Air Force Academy. I still think University of North Dakota is the best when it comes to Academics and the study for Aviation. Embry Riddle is over-rated... I mean its a good school and all but for the price it just isnt worth it. University of North Dakota is a very good school... alot of people complain about the snow and the weather but think of it as better training. Purdue has a good aviation program too. as far as the best goes take your pick Embry Riddle - Airforce Academy - UND
