Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will accept applications through Jan. 15 for the first 25 students to enter its brand-new Ph.D. program in aviation.

With specialties offered in operations, safety and security, participants will graduate with the “focused knowledge and solid research skills necessary to tackle the major issues facing today's aviation industry,” according to a news release. It's the “first such program in the United States” and begins in May 2009.

The three-year, research-oriented online program requires an annual six-day residency at an Embry-Riddle campus.
