Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University alumni include six astronauts, a former U.S. Congressman, and a former White House Fellow. Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University is the only accredited aviation-oriented university in the world.[1] The university offers bachelor's and master's degrees at two residential campuses and through Embry–Riddle Worldwide. Associate's degrees and non-degree programs are also offered by Embry–Riddle Worldwide.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
