UAV / UAS (Drone) CERTIFICATE
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This UVA/UAS program prepares students to meet the Federal Aviation Administration requirements to operate lightweight and heavier Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles (UAVs) in commercial operations, utilizing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
CERTIFICATES UAV/UAS Basic UAV/UAS Advanced To earn the Basic Certificate, complete the required courses as listed with a minimum grade of “C." At least 50% of all major coursework must be completed at Cypress College. The Basic Certificate offers students a career ladder from which they may experience incremental success as they progress to an Advanced Certificate and an Associate in Science Degree. The “basic” designation is intended to make clear that Cypress College considers students with this certificate to be eligible for internships, but not necessarily ready for employment unless they have completed significant coursework in another discipline.
