Rest assured, an education from ERAU is ALL complete and utter crap. ERAU cares about one thing and one thing only: your money and how much of it they can abscond with.
An aviation degree from ERAU is garbage.

First of all, Prescott campus has always been lacking and jealous of Daytona campus. Daytona always gets the best programs and students. That's why they have their PHD program there. Secondly, the only programs not accredited worldwide are the online MBA and the Prescott MBA programs. The Daytona MBA is fully accredited and the rest of the degrees are fully accredited including their PHD program in Daytona (which is the only campus that has a PHD program). Third, I am sick of the Riddle bashing on this site. If you can't afford, couldn't get in for whatever reason or did not want to go to Riddle don't take your jealousy or frustration out on those who did. Your Riddle degree isn't useless or garbage. I graduated in 1996 from DAB. I can tell you while I was studying and attending every class my friends at big state schools where partying there !@s off and not even going to class and pulling descent grades for doing nothing. If you are serious about being aviation professional there are many options.
Purdue, UND and ERAU are the most established and time tested programs out there. Everything else is a start up program that is trying to gain market share from these three schools. I am partial as I am third generation Riddle Grad but I bet these other schools can't make that claim. I am sure they all have great programs, I have been involved with case studies at CSUN's Human Factors program and they are working on some interesting things but it is a small program and not ERAU. Ask yourself how many air force pilots or astronauts came out of these little add on programs that people keep plugging on this site. Then look up ERAU's stats. ERAU, UND or Purdue will not make you aviation professional but they will give you more tools to become one then these state schools add on programs will.
The problem with ERAU grads is there sense of entitlement that they carry into jobs. I have experienced it first hand and it is annoying and unprofessional. It gives us Riddle grads a bad name. I have flown with and worked with grads of many different programs, it dosen't matter which school someone went to I have met great people and horrible people from most of the schools out there. Just get your degree and stop bashing other peoples.
