Whether you’re interested in policy, piloting, engineering or data analysis, the curriculum allows you to choose a program specialization or complement your studies with a minor.
When you think of flying practically, there are barriers that man can’t really pass when it comes to flight. That’s not the same for autonomous flying or uncrewed flying. There’s going to be a lot of discoveries; a lot of new doors that are going to be opened on the UAS front and I want to be a part of that.
