PILOT UNMANN AIRCRAFT SYST Students who aspire to join the world of aviation but are more at ease with their feet on the ground may discover the Unmanned Pilot program is the best fit for them.

Unmanned Aerial Systems is a rapidly growing segment of the aviation world, with drone use expanding worldwide. Unmanned Pilot students will master aviation concepts and culture while specializing in remote drone operations. The Unmanned Pilot pathway leads outside the classroom where students will be tasked with conducting specialized projects in agriculture, construction, real estate, or search-and-rescue drone operations.
