Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University – Worldwide will offer face-to-face aviation degree programs to members of the U.S. military stationed at overseas Pacific locations starting this August, according to a recently awarded Department of Defense contract.The contract, commonly referred to as the PACOM Education contract, is for seven years – two base years with five “option” years. It allows Embry-Riddle Worldwide to provide undergraduate and graduate degree programs to Army, Navy and Air Force service members and civilians on U.S. military installations within the Pacific Command’s oversees locations (PACOM).
Embry-Riddle Worldwide has served the U.S. military in Europe since 1974 and the Middle East since 2008. In August 2015, Embry-Riddle Worldwide will open campuses at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa and Camp Humphreys in South Korea.
“It’s a privilege to teach our service members and civilians on U.S. military installations overseas,” said Bob Walton, executive director of campus operations for Embry-Riddle Worldwide. “This new award helps us expand our global reach by offering degree programs to the thousands of personnel assigned to this region. Embry-Riddle Worldwide is proud of its partnership with the Department of Defense and looks forward to continued opportunities to serve the troops at home and abroad.”
