  • Why did you choose to attend ERAU: "Upon Visiting the campus, I loved the atmosphere of the school, cross country team, and Faculty/staff. ERAU is a perfect fit for my academic and athletic plans through it's amazingly specialized program. I plan to study Forensic Biology while participating in AFROTC and Cross Country and T&F to one day fulfill my dream of becoming a flight doctor in the military. Through the academic, athletic and ROTC scholarships I was offered, I have been given an amazing opportunity to do this."
