Unmanned Aerial Systems Graduate Certificate
In this certificate program, you will learn to safely use Unmanned Aerial Systems
(drones) and to collect and process geospatial data acquired by them. Demand for professionals
trained to operate drones and process drone imagery is growing rapidly in agriculture,
natural resource management, construction, energy, transportation, business, and many
other fields. A significant aspect of this 11-credit online graduate certificate (with
a 2-credit, field-based flight school) is to prepare you to become an FAA certified
pilot and to use industry-standard image processing techniques.
