General

We currently have 2 options for individuals interested in flight training to choose from. Individuals who are studying the Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics (BSA) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Asia can take up a Flight Minor, with the flight training taking place in Daytona Beach, Floride. Aside from this option, individuals can also enroll at APEX Flight Academy, which allows them to study the BSA at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Asia in Singapore and undergo flight training at APEX’s Training Center in Taitung, Taiwan.
Since we started offering our first classes in Singapore in January 2011 we've had tremendous support for local partners that have enabled us to deliver our academic degree programs in the same quality teaching environments our students at other Embry-Riddle campuses enjoy. As we outgrow our current facilities in the coming years we're looking at where Embry-Riddle Asia can build its new home in Singapore. Until then, we're committed to ensuring that students continue to have access to state-of-the-art classrooms and student life facilities through our local partners in Singapore.

First launched by Embry-Riddle in 2007, EagleVision is a virtual classroom that combines the power of web video conferencing and learning management system software to maximize the benefits of synchronous and asynchronous virtual learning environments. EagleVision provides real-time collaboration in a student-centered learning environment. By leveraging this technology and keeping academic quality in the forefront, we have been able to offer two additional course delivery modes — EagleVision Classroom (classroom to classroom(s)) and EagleVision Home (faculty and students at home) — and enhance our online learning opportunities.

Each course consists of 40 hours of teaching and learning which we define as a 3 credit hour course (a standard US academic unit of instruction).
