Why earn a drone certificate?
The University of North Dakota is the place to be for UAS. The New York Times called our Grand Forks campus “the Silicon Valley of unmanned aircraft systems,” and students here regularly have the chance to interact with small and large UAS companies such as:
- Northrup Grumman
- General Atomics
- Rockwell Collins
- SkySkopes
Our students benefit from a curriculum high on hands-on, real-world UAS experience. Systems engineering curriculum well-suited for a broad spectrum of engineers — including mechanical, electrical and robotic — as well as aerospace and computer science majors.
