<p>^^Its bread and butter^^ is its Aeronautical Science degree program which is flight training leading to a commercial pilot’s license. For instance in the spring of 2008, 26% of the degrees awarded at the Prescott campus were in engineering and 40+% were in aeronautical science. But in its engineering degree program, there is a definite focus on astronautics, which is what the OP asked about. Perhaps I am a little rah-rah because my own son is having a terrific experience at ERAU; I honestly have no knowledge of other engineering programs in comparison.</p>
<p>And I do admit to a slight irritation when folks confuse aeronautical science with aeronautical engineering. ;)</p>
