Daytona State–Embry‑Riddle pathway awaits FAA signoff, board hears
Summary
Board members heard an update on a partnership to deliver aviation maintenance and aerospace programs locally; staff said the 1+2+1 pathway is in place but a certificate program still needs final FAA approval.
A board member reported that Daytona State College and Embry‑Riddle maintain a partnership to offer aviation maintenance and aerospace science programs locally, including a 1+2+1 pathway that allows students to begin at Embry‑Riddle, complete two years at Daytona State, and return for a final year.
"We're still waiting on final approval from the FAA for, the certificate in AS program," said a college representative, who noted the partnership structure means students pay tuition to the institution offering the credit for that year. Board members discussed degree pathways and the potential for certificate and AS tracks to feed into four-year degrees at Embry‑Riddle.
The board encouraged continued coordination with local stakeholders and noted that program rollout depends on FAA certification and space/development timelines for facilities. Members asked staff to keep them updated as approvals and construction dates become firm.
