Along with delivering a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies, a Bachelor of Science in Communication, as well as minors in Arabic StudiesCommunication and Broadcast Media, and Humanities, the Department of Humanities and Communication offers a full spectrum of courses in communication, philosophy, ethics and other areas that enhance the technical skills students develop elsewhere on campus.

The Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies is a flexible degree program that allows students to design their own course of study by choosing from three minors that are in some way synergistic. Students can choose from areas of specialization like Flight, Air Traffic Control, Aviation Weather, Space Studies, Humanities, and Psychology.

The Communication program is geared toward Embry-Riddle’s strength: science and technology. Students become familiar with the language of that niche through courses that are designed to help them understand the science and then present it so that the audience understands what it means and how it applies to their lives.
