Worldwide Academic Calendar 2026-2027 

Embry‑Riddle Worldwide & Online is designed for working adults, military students, and learners who need flexibility without sacrificing academic rigor. Rather than a fixed fall/spring calendar, Worldwide runs on a rolling monthly term system, with new start dates available each month depending on program type. Online undergraduate students have the most frequent entry points, with terms beginning nearly every month. Classroom-based and graduate tracks start on a bimonthly schedule.

There are five delivery tracks, each with its own term calendar: Undergraduate Classroom, Graduate Classroom, Undergraduate Online, Graduate Online and EagleVision Home (undergraduate and graduate). Additional information can be obtained through the Office of the Registrar: ERNIE - Office of the Registrar, 866-393-9046, or worldwide.registrar@erau.edu.
